Most Christians alive today have rejected the notion of eternal, physically painful punishment for non-believers after death. (Annihilationism, Universalism and defining Hell as an 'absence of/separation from God' are the most common beliefs, today.)
So, if you're a Christian who doesn't view Christianity as the ONLY road to salvation, do you think Evangelism is required or necessary?
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Since Almighty God (aka The Lord) refuses to simply speak VERY LOUDLY FROM HEAVEN and confirm the exact true situation we are
stuck with a ridiculous mult-level marketing system of religious competition like Mary Kay cosmetics.
The downside, need I point out, is that none of us can be sure who is telling the truth and who is pulling it out of their ass.
The presumed result of a wrong choice is God's wrath.
What more proof do we need that a Supreme Being is not behind any of this "plan"??
Don't wind up the fundies Terry, annoying them is like opening a can of poisonous (& thoroughly irritating) worms.

I good question.
"We" preach the word of God ( Jesus) not just with our mouths and in a church, but with our everyday actions and behaviour.
Evangilising is leading by example, it is loving our neighbour as ourselves, it is the love of God flowing from all his children.
Do I view Christianity as the ONLY road to salvation?
No, only for Christians is it the raod for salvation.
BUT, I do view Jesus Christ as the SOLE path to salvation.
So, where is the difference?
"For men it is not possible, for God ALL is possible".
Christianity has been corrupted by man, Jesus has not, CAN NOT and as such, He is our saviour and judge so it is up to JESUS to decide Salvation.

Even miracles do not compel belief, as the Biblical narrative itself explains.

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

"For men it is not possible, for God ALL is possible".
Agreed. The rules are for us, not for God.

If that's actually a real question, rather than an attempt at sarcasm, then you must be a very ignorant person.
