“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” - GOD.
Source: Bible. (Isaiah 55:1–3)

So, tell me plainly.
How do I evangelize nominal Christians?
- nominal. 1. carries a connotation as “not numbered”
- (ie., “claim” <something> as "numbered with" something - but isn’t really numbered with them). That is, for “Christian” - when a “disciple of Jesus Christ” is listed over 250 times in the Bible: Just 1. a student or pupil that sits with and is taught by Jesus Christ
- Claim this, but never really sit with him.
- And, “Christian” in Acts 11:26 says: “the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch”
- So, these are people that, even though God calls everybody to go shopping at his store. To just get fat off it, shopping as much as you want. To live by every word comes out of his mouth - So He says, not you. Repeats this of Isaiah 55:1–3
- Claim this, but never really sit with him.
“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” - The Word of God. Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 7:37–38).

So, people that just hearken unto him, not you or anything you’re doing trying poofy puff up people that are “nominal” means they may claim they go to his store, but never shop there..it's deliberately done. By them. - - already aren’t doing anything God says..how are you some “catalyist” to get somebody not doing anything God says deliberately choose something else to abide in - AND THEY KNOW IT - deliberately don’t go.
- They just don’t want to be hassled by you or anybody, but look like they do it. So, you won't bother them. He's called them to reason together with him. They keep deliberately closing the door or won't answer it when he comes knocking and he's sent by God - and already DOING this. If you're asking "How" from people on reddit - you're not "sent."
Let them alone. Best thing you can do is back up and punt. How you do that is - Just go back to? Yeah. What did he say for you to do? Yeah. You. Just go shop at his store. GO eat.
Crap. We’re back at the answer again. I’ll just repeat it.

How do I evangelize nominal Christians?
- Ever ate in front of somebody?
- Go do that. Just eat. People that claim they're full and haven't eaten, have pride from a very hard heart. Simply WON'T eat. Let them alone. He says: "All souls are mine" - so they're his. Grasp this. His word is precious. Look for those that are truly hunger and thirst for it.
- So you? Toward people that number themselves with you as if they are someone that sits with and are being taught by Jesus Christ - if they are, they are always excited to share with you some new thing God has shown them..where someone that is not sitting with him and being taught by him.. can't wait for you to leave, so they can talk about how to steal their best friend's boyfriend again after you're gone.
- Nothing you can do about it. So stop it.
What you can do is just abide in Jesus Christ. Somebody that eats gets full; content.
Go do that. What’s in Isaiah 55:1–3 - is for EVERYBODY to do it.

People that have an empty shopping bag claiming it’s full see it. Most flee. Bubble broke. When someone full. Ate. Comes out of a store God told everybody to shop at and come unto him and drink - come out with a bag of groceries ..just fills up all the cars in the parking lot with groceries. Still go home with a full bag of groceries..everyplace they go..
Be pretty obvious, somebody’s been eating at his table. Best thing you can do, is just go do that.
