Charlie and I watched the left behind movies. He is now starting to understand he is not a good person, and is now understanding what the cross means. Has anyone ever used the left behind books or movies to the lost, Do those books and movies work.

I love the movies and I think they did awesome picking Kirk Cameron to play a role so he could share the true Gospel right there in the movies...Too many churches briefly mention sin and are quick to say that God will give us a much better life if we accept Him....that is sad...it almost destroyed me had it not been for my pastors...They showed me what the Gospel is really about...about the fact that I broke God's Law, I deserved hell as my punishment...Jesus took my penalty upon Himself and rose again...I just have to put my faith in Him....

*sigh* if only the Christian movie industry could get some decent scriptwriters, directors, and actors (okay, SOME actors are pretty good...but seriously). I just about choked watching those movies because they were so cheesy in parts. Good message, a couple of decent actors (yeah, just a couple), but some parts I could have sworn were written by George Lucas (and we all know what happens when he gets ahold of the script: *pouty voice* "Sand is rough!").

I have read all of the books and seen the first movie. In my opnion they were wonderful. Beautifully written.

Kirk Cameron plays one of the lead roles, Buck, in the movie, he also has the website Way Of The Master.

THE WAY OF THE MASTER is also a study/ lesson(s) on evangelism...

only 2 % of those that are Christian, evangelize, most others have no outreach.

Movies that bring people to Christ are good and all, but I am not so sure about these movies...

How can there be people coming to Christ after the Church is take up into Heaven? The work of the Holy Spirit is to bring people to Christ. And no one comes to accept Christ exept by the works of the Holy Spirit, right? The Holy Spirit's ministry on Earth ends when the Church is take out of this world in into Heaven(The Second Coming Of Christ, isnt what that is?)... if the Holy Spirit is not there to work in the hearts on man, how can man come to Christ if its only through Holy Spirit that we come to recive Christ as our salvaion? To my understanding, without Holy Spirit the Bible cannot move people to Christ. And one cannot preach the Word without Holy Spirit to guide you...

What am I missing here? Or are the movies inacurate in this?

I don't think the Holy Spirit will completly leave...if so, what of the Tribulation Saints and the 144,000 Jewish witnesses who will preach the Gospel during the end times?

Also, as the Holy Spirit IS God, how can the omnipresent God leave the earth?

Ok, I admit thats bad wording on my behalf... He wont leave Earth. But I am pretty sure His ministry will be stoped, wont it?

Clue me in here... who?
