Christine Caine Said What?

Christine Caine’s Claim About Witnessing Versus Preaching

The Holy Spirit came to give us the power to be witnesses, not to do witnessing. And so we need a generation of Christians that understand it's not about standing on a street corner to do witnessing, but to be witnesses on the earth, to bring salt and light in the midst of our darkness.

That's what God has called us to do.

All right, so according to Christine Kane, we're not to go preach the gospel. We're to just exist as Christians in the world and not to judge or call out sin. Rather, we just need to bring salt and light.

Peter, Paul, and Jesus Show What Witnessing Really Means

Well, I guess Peter and the rest of the apostles did it wrong when they were filled with the Holy Spirit and went into Jerusalem during a festival preaching the gospel, telling the people to repent of their sins, save themselves from this crooked generation, and to be baptized and follow Jesus.

And Paul did it wrong when he went to the Areopagus and told the Greeks not to be ignorant, but to repent of their sins, because Jesus would soon return to judge the world. Then he went to Corinth and tried to preach to the Jews, but they wouldn't listen to him, so he shook his garments of them and said, your blood is on your own heads.

And Jesus did it wrong when in the same public sermon he preached about being salt and light, he said, be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. And not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father.

They will say, didn't we do mighty works in your name? And I will say, depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Or maybe Christine Kane is wrong, and we should wage the good warfare, lest by rejecting it we make a shipwreck of our faith.

Witnesses Must Speak Truth and Expose Sin

Being witnesses means that we speak the truth and expose lies. Being salt and light means that we hold out the word of God and expose sin. Don't listen to anyone who tells you to just be and not do. They're liars when we understand the text.
