Oh, but I HAVE studied the NT and also have studied "apologetics" and I don't find that the Biblical method is necessarily Presup and not evidentialism. I find in most apologetics a needless trifling, one camp pitted against the other, while most souls broguht into the kingdom are not down so through TAG or Van Til's books. Again, all the most effective evangelists and missionaries I know are not in the least bit interested in presup apologetics.
Are you are presuming that the whole duty of the body is just evangelism or that which feeds evangelism? Please carefully read through 1 Cor. 12:14 - 31 examine yourself to see if you have looked at the evangelist as being the only worthwhile part of the body. If you have (and I cannot judge your heart) then read it again. See if you look at "winning souls" as the only worthwhile service in the body. If you have taken up a narrow view of the body of Christ and minimized the gifts of God to the church (Eph 4:11-16) other than evangelist, does that not mean that you have minimized what God has decided?
