MuttleyLaff: We live in an age where neither Jesus nor his apostles would have lasted long enough to even have a ministry to begin with. Clearly Paul made mention of how he was a chief sinner and persecuted (killed) Christian's while preaching to the family members of those he persecuted. Preaching in itself is supposed to be as witnesses of Christ right? How then can you witness without sharing your transformation story. 1 Like 1 Share |

Myer:"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise," - Ephesians 5:15 "14And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town 16Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" - Matthew 10:14 & 16 "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." - Colossians 3:12 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves" - Philippians 2:3 Just a few sample verses talking of preaching etiquette and acceptable, good and polite behaviours. 1 Like |

TOPCRUISE: Apostle Paul was a known murderer of Christians. There was no point hiding that. This is so different from the OP's initial question, where he cited something scandalous like " I used to sleep with my mother's age mates" or I have slept with 500 girls.... You will be putting out in the public space a series of possibilities that don't help you. Don't expect elderly ladies to come to you for counseling. Or young ladies.... help yourself. 1 Like |

As a father whose infant daughter was raped As a man whose wife has not recovered from rape memory As a man whose girlfriend was raped How would you perceive a preacher mentioning his past rape episodes and smiling about it? A certain Bishop who was an armed robber , while preaching mentioned how he smashed the head of baby on the wall in the presence of the parents because money was hidden under the pillow upon which the baby slept. Till today, I can't forget that story. He told the story smiling and boasting to his audience that God has forgiven him. Was that necessary? |

Kobojunkie:In my opinion, if a preacher must say things about his past, he must choose his words carefully because, the audience is made up of people with diverse understanding. Somebody in the congregation may start doubting if the preacher had truly repented and if he had the authority to even preach to them. This could breed secret hatred, gossip and rumors in the house of God. If an Islamic preacher tries such, he may be stoned dead right there and then. 1 Like |

Well it is like they are bragging about their past life meaning they still miss their past life. When you confess and God forgive you. You should forget about it. If you going to preach about it, just say i used to fornicate or steal or lie or any sin without going into details and you sounds remorseful. When you go into details, you give glory to your sinful past which gives room for the devil to tempt even the most born again. You do not expect a rapist to go into details how he used to rape girl , you will be angry and may kill him. So do not the same to the church, it is annoying and offensive. remember the Devil is a roaring lion looking to whom he can devour. 1 Like |

There is nothing wrong with telling people about your past sins. You are simply telling them that they too could be saved even though their sins be as scarlet. Apostle Paul told of his sins openly and save he didn't deserve God's mecies cos he was the chief of sinners. |

Thunderdon: You are missing the point and i get your point of view. It is okay for a preacher to say i used to steal, kill or whatever sin they used to do. But it is very wrong for them to go into details , it is like they are bragging about their past life and most do not sound remorseful. Imagine an ex governor going into details how he loot people's salaries for his personal gain and how lavished the money even though he has repented and he is born again , someone may want to kill him because it is offensive The same apply to the church, it is offensive to some members. 1 Like |

cooltola: You are right n wrong. Do you know how many people loot in this country? Even those ones doing npower loot. It is not just the politicians. So if he says that his past was dirty, and tells people the pros n cons and why they shouldnt, I guess it will pull more weight. There is no message preached n church that isnt offensive to people. You would always pull blood from someones present experience or past one |

brightdestiny96:So telling only accountable partners makes your eventual backslide less of a backslide? Hiding the details serves as a sort of insurance of sorts but not against actual backsliding? |
Re: Preaching Etiquette by cooltola(m): 1:59pm On Jun 28, 2020 |
COdeGenesis: You still missing the point. Confession while preaching does not mean going into details on how a preacher used to do this or that. Not everyone in the church is matured and some are still baby. Imagine a pastor preaching how God deliver him from fornication, but he started naming specific area e.g i used to go xyz joint in xyz city where i was younger to get women but thank God i am saved. For someone in the church who is not matured enough he might be tempted to go there and check the place out. That is my point 1 Like |
