Religious Worldview Interview Assignment
Part One
I’ve had some obstacles arise this semester which have led to a brief hospitalization to regulate
my medications, which negatively impacted my grades. Not to mention the fact that my
disability had already previously caused an unwanted drop in my performance during the
duration of this class. It totally sucks having to always come in last place, or to be the one not
learning or functioning on the same level as everyone else. That is something that having
Schizophrenia has caused for me for several years now, the reason I’m unable to maintain
meaningful employment, and the biggest cause of my failure in life in general. Despite my
limitations, I know that I am still loved and cherished by the Lord, and that he doesn’t want me
to fail in life. He sees the good in me, and the sincerity in my endeavors, my refusal to quit, and
my determination in finishing the things I set out to do- even if it does mean finishing last.
With that having been said, I’m going to go the extra mile in this assignment and discuss all 4
methods of spreading the gospel, rather than just two, and hopefully I earn enough points to
finish this course with at least a passing grade. Additionally, I want to show the excellent
professor who taught this class, Mr. that I did learn something, and that his efforts in
educating the guy who always comes in last place were appreciated. The first method is to
spread the gospel of Jesus without fear: William Fay and Ralph Hodge made this approach
famous, emphasizing having casual interactions to spread the gospel. Two inquiries are used as
diagnostic tools: “Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?” and “To you, who is Jesus?” At that
point, the doors open for one to share important scriptures. A few good examples could

include John 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, and Romans 10:9-10. The
fundamental point of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ is furthered by these verses.
The Romans Road is the second method. A series of verses from the book of Romans are used
in
The Roman’s Road, a methodical technique, to convey the message of the gospel. Romans 3:23,
Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9, and Romans 10:13 are the verses that come after each
other in the list.This approach offers a methodical way to discuss the necessity of redemption,
the negative effects of sin, God’s love shown through the death of Jesus, the significance of
confession and belief, and the assurance of salvation for everyone who believe on God. Using a
designated order of these verses is said to effectively communicate the gospel’s message.
The third method is known as the Faith Method. This is Charles G. Finnley’s method which
includes five essential elements derived from each letter of the word “FAITH”, meaning
“Forsaking All, I Trust Him”. The method is described as follows:
1. Forsaking all – entails confession of sin and moving away from it.
2. I – the admission of one’s own shame and helplessness.
3. Trust – placing one’s faith in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
4. Him – devoting one’s life to Jesus and accepting Him as the Savior.
Acts 3:19, Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, and Revelation 3:20 are just a few of the
Bible verses that the FAITH method uses to promote each phase. These texts lend credence to
the ideas of repentance, grace-based redemption by faith, Jesus as the sole means of salvation,

and to an individual devotion to Christ.
The last method is the Evangelism Explosion Method. This method was created by Jphn D.
Kennedy and entails the usage of a methodical strategy to proclaim the gospel using a more
personal, “one on one” approach. The focus of this method are two diagnostic questions: “Have
you reached a place in your spiritual life where you are certain that, if you died today, you
would go to heaven?" and "Suppose you were to die today and stand before God, and He were
to ask you, "Why should I let you into My heaven? "—what would you say?"
According to the feedback, the sharer explains the gospel message using passages like John
3:16, Romans 6:23, and Romans 10:9. The Evangelism Explosion approach leans on particular
verses to reinforce the ideas of sin, salvation, and faith in Jesus Christ. Other verses also include
John 3:16, Romans 6:23, and Romans 10:9.
These strategies offer useful frameworks for presenting the gospel message, relying on certain
verses to communicate the essential ideas of salvation and faith in Jesus Christ. I’ve merely
provided a very basic idea of each method, as there are actually entire training programs taught
using each of these methods and curriculum thereof.
