What is the difference between evangelizing and proselytizing?
Gospel = euaggelion = good news
Evangelist = euaggelisteΜs = one who heralds or proclaims the good news
Proselytize is not in the Bible. Proselytizing exceeds the definition of proclaim by going into the realm of salesmanship and even coercion.
