WHAT DO I SAY? 

1. Remember, the gospel, the good news of what He has done for us, is the power of God unto salvation unto every person who believes, and that faith comes to people as they hear the Word of God. Rom.1.16,17;  10.17
2. Rely on the power of Holy Spirit using the Word of God to convince the person.
3. Let the Word speak for itself as much as possible. You say little. 

If possible, let the person you are dealing with read the scriptures out loud from the Bible, and simply ask, “What does that say to you?” (Lk.10.25,26) Offer no rebuttal, no preaching. Just listen while you step them through reading different scriptures. When they give a good answer, showing that they understand it, go to the next scripture. Have them re-read it out-loud if they don’t give a good answer. Have them re-read it as many times as necessary to give them a Word-based understanding. This plants the Word into their hearts. 

First: To be born again:                                     Second: To be baptized in the Spirit:    

1. John 3:16                                                                 1. John 1:29,33
2. Romans 3:23                                                            2. John 7:37-39
3. Romans 6:23                                                            3. Luke 24:49
4. Romans 5:6,8                                                           4. Acts 1:4-8
5. John 1:12                                                                 5. Acts 2:1-4
6. Revelation 3:20                                                         6. Acts 10:44-48       
7. Romans 10: 9,10,13 “whoever calls…saved”            7. Luke 11:13 “whoever asks…filled” 

Note: You can get a small pocket testament and mark only these scriptures. Put the page number of the next scripture upside down on the top margin of the page so that you can see what page to turn to next. Anybody can do this—just flip pages and ask the one question. 

Then, after they have understood the scriptures, simply say to them,
“The Bible says whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, doesn’t it.”
(“The Bible says whoever asks for the Holy Spirit will receive, doesn’t it.”)
They say, “Yes.”
You say, “You want to be saved, don’t you?” (“You want to be filled, don’t you?”)
They say, “Yes.”
You say, “OK, repeat this prayer after me.”

“God in heaven, I thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sin, and that He rose from the dead to give me eternal life and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus, I receive you as my Lord and Savior right now. I give you my life to do with me whatsoever you so desire. (Thank you for saving me. Thank you God that you are now my heavenly Father in Jesus name.) (Thank you for filling me with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.)” Amen.
