Some reject...
"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet" Matt 10:14. To simplify it, LEAVE THEM ALONE. Pray for them if it is someone you know. They have not rejected you but the Lord who sent you. Leave them and forget them. Go look for someone else who is prepared by God to respond. NEVER respond in a negative way.
Some say they accept but...
Take Judas for instance. He heard it all, saw it all but never caught on, was never saved. You are going to have some who say "Yes", maybe just to get you off their backs. It is not your fault. DO NOT blame yourself. NEVER. I have had my share who profess to be saved but never showed any results of salvation or fruit. We all have. Jesus knew Judas was not saved but never exposed him nor made an issue of it. Don't you do it either.
Saved ones bear fruit...
"But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit" Matt 13:23. They will bear fruit. How much differs with each person, (don't miss this part next time) but they will bear fruit. Salvation always produces good works but good works will never produce salvation. Salvation is a gift of God, "not of works lest any man should boast" Eph 2:8,9. "Faith without works is dead" James 2:20. It is not faith and works that saves but faith that Christ died for my sins paid my debt in full and rose again that produces salvation which then produces good works. "For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus UNTO good works" not because of good works. Eph 2:10.

" I know the Lord is using you mightily in my life to become a more effective, bold not brash witness." You and I know only God can do that. Let Him use YOU!
