John 17 around verse 28.. Jesus prayed for him to be in us and his salvation for all those who believe the message he gave his diciples to give to the world.

So to me personally. For His prayer to be a prayer to be answered for someone personally. They probably need to hear the diciples out and believe them..

I straight up do not believe in the Roman road, salvation fast food delivery service. I have seen way to many people locked in that man made comtrol system destroyed by their sin and completly powerless over tbeir flesh in that faith (Not all but many). Because it pretty much gets "some" people to disregard the diciples message and mis out on the power of Jesus's pray for us while he was here in the world.

I think you have to hear a person out before you can fully decide if you completley  believe them. 

So in my, follow the instruction recieve the promise understandings. If you hear the diciples out and believe them. Jesus recorder his prayer and it is for you, and for your salvation. 

And I know God answers Jesus's prayers. And that is the only prayer I have seen from him that is specifically, personally prayed for you or me for anyone to be given His Spirit and it for those that believes his diciples.

So if you want to reject this diciples message or that diciples message because they are not talking to you. Right there in John 17;28ish Jesus is talking to God about you if you want to be born again by his Spirit and have Christ in you, which is our hope to share in his glory. Jesus is telling you right there who to listen to and believe.

So many people just shuffle right past John 17:3 seeking eternal life by this formula or that formula, offering this hack into Christ and that hack into Christ, seeking to know a doctrin(teaching of man) instead of seeking to know God which is our eternal life. Christ in us making God our Father known to us.

Personally  I prefer Johns gospel. This is personal relation ship meets the road. Jesus came to take our sins on Himself for our salvation. But that was not His whole mission. It's not just about going to the cross for us but  He must also be in us. He told His disciples " it is expedient that I go away for if I don't go away the Holy Spirit will not come. He also said that The Holy spirit is with you but he shall also be in you. Jesus could not have stayed here to be our earthly Messiah. We must have His spiritual connection. This is not just going to church as  good church people do, but he must be living in our hearts to teach us to be more like Christ. This is a full time work 24-7. As much as we needed Christ at the cross we need a life changing experience. one that prevails to the end. Though I prefer John try reading Matt 13:1: 23. also in mark and Luke. The sower of the seed.

Amen Amen

I believe and recieve all of them from Christ. I like to prepare the full banquet. not the dried out hamburger patty slap it on your plate for you and call it the meat.

A little effort never hurt anyone.

To be honest, I never thought of which gospel was best for unbelievers, until this topic's question was posted. It seemed like in the past, many well-seasoned Christians referred towards the Gospel of John for some reason. It's my personal favorite as well. It is interesting to read the preference of all the others here, and the reason why they do, however.

I would suggest Matthew....The first thing the unbeliever needs to see is the Truth.He is a sinner headed for Hell like a bullet....He needs a wake up call! He needs to read the biggest Hell -Fire  and Brimstone Sermon ever given , namely, The Sermon On The Mount.You know—- If you so much as look at a woman with lust you are as guilty as an adulterer.You need to pluck out your eyes,etc......If this is not enough to grab your immediate attention....you are hopeless.This is your chance to realize that you have been living in Satan’s Fool’s Paradise( I May not be perfect , but I’m OK ,I’m good enough to go to Heaven)The first step in Christianity is seeing that you are a helpless,hopeless sinner that must have a Savior.You need what the world would call a “ lightbulb moment”.......I believe Matthew is the best place to be confronted with the decision that will determine your Eternal Fate —- come to the Light, or remain In darkness.Why waste time? Let’s get to the nitty-gritty as soon as possible.Matthew is in-your- face bad news.Until you see yourself as the lost person that you are.....You will have no appetite for the Good News that will save you.

I think John is the best Gospel for unbelievers. 

[Debp]

In Bible college, they taught the Gospel of John is the best for unbelievers or new Christians since it stresses the deity of Christ.

[simplejeff]

Yes,  (that) The false gospel is by far the most common gospel for unbelievers.
