Its pretty awesome that you guys went forward and talked to them afterwards.

what happens when we remove conviction from the gospel? the very essence of the good news is that God made a way through His Son for those of us who were sinful and hopeless to have relationship with Him. If we never approach people about their sinfulness and hopefulness, what will make them realize their need for the gospel?

Why can’t it be both? Why can’t it be that our doctrine about God draws us closer to Him in love?”

Excellent, excellent point. Action flows from thought. Good doctrine without Christ-like love reveals itself to be bad doctrine. Christ-like love without the doctrines about Christ reveals itself to be a love that’s not Christ-like at all.
