True Evangelism - What is it?

[Carbon]

Seems different people I talk with have different ideas of what evangelism is. So, the question of this thread is, "What is True Evangelism?"

Here are a couple definitions I looked up.

1: Google: True evangelism is the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ with the aim of persuading people to repent and believe, rooted in the power of the Holy Spirit and focused on sharing the good news of salvation and reconciliation through Christ.

2: Websters 1828: EVAN'GELISM, noun The promulgation of the gospel.

Here is something else interesting.
In the 1700s, evangelism underwent a significant transformation, particularly during the First Great Awakening, marked by a shift towards personal, emotional, and experiential religion, as well as the rise of new denominations like Methodists and Baptists.

So it looks like some things have happened to evangelism in the last few hundred years. I find it interesting to read the book of Acts and see what the Apostles did. Or even the early Christian churches before 1730.

I have spoken with others who said, evangelism is,
Going out into the streets and preaching the gospel to the lost.
It's going house to house.
Its missions.
and on and on.

Evangelism is the sharing of the "evangel" - the good news of Christ's victory over sin, death and the devil on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. This is the base line, of course many other things can also be included in evangelism, depending upon the audience.
