B. HOW TO DEAL WITH A PROCRASTINATOR:
•	Opportunities to deal with the souls of men sometimes only come once. 
•	A soul can only be saved when the Holy Spirit is convicting him and dealing with him.
•	It is the weakness of human nature to procrastinate.
 In dealing with the procrastinator impress upon him the following:
1.	Procrastination is the thief of time; the opportunity may never return;
2.	There is no better time to be saved than now;
3.	There is great danger in delay for he has no guarantee of the future;
5.    There is no time when he could give the Lord more of his life than at the present and that it is unfair to give to the Lord what is left over from a life dissipated by sin.
•	Finally, if possible, use illustrations of people who postponed their salvation and died without being saved. 
•	By all means press for an immediate decision if you feel that the Holy Spirit is dealing with them.

C. HOW THE NEARNESS OF JESUS RETURN AFFECTS PERSONAL EVANGELISM:
•	Every soul winner should be fully aware of the signs of the times. 
•	Today we wrestle with demon powers and in dealing with many souls we must have the Holy Ghost power and anointing.
Here are a few of the fulfilled prophecies that affect the personal dealing with souls:
1.	A denial of God and the Saviour. Jude 4.
2.	A denial of the humanity of Jesus. I John 4:3.
3.	A denial of the Atonement. II Peter 2:1.
4.	A denial of godliness. II Timothy 3:1-5.
5.	A denial of sound doctrine. II Timothy 3:1-5.
6.	A denial of authority. Jude 8.
7.	Apostate professing Christendom. 
8.	The rise of devil worship and seducing spirits. I Timothy 4:1-3.

D. HOW TO DEAL WITH THE TRINITARIAN TRADITION:
•	The Trinitarian Tradition is one of the most common false doctrines that we have to deal with. 
•	This has been the accepted doctrine of many of the historical professing churches. 
•	The majority of church members are Trinitarians although many of them know very little about the doctrine.
•	The wrong thing to do is to denounce it in strong terms for many of these people are sincere in their belief. 
•	There are two aspects of this truth that we shall have to deal with (1) Water Baptism in Jesus Name, and (2) Deity of Jesus and the Oneness of the Godhead.
•	Water Baptism in Jesus Name is the easier of the two to prove, so the worker should start here. 
o	The Scripture to begin with is Matthew 28:19. 
•	Have the person read the Scripture and then begin to ask some questions similar to these:
1.	In whose name are we to be baptized?
2.	Is the name singular of plural? If it is singular what is the name?
3.	Are we told the name in this verse? If we use this as a formula of water baptism, are we obeying or are we repeating? 
•	Tell them about the history of the Trinitarian Tradition and then kindly ask them some questions that the doctrine of the Holy Trinity does not answer:
1.	How many does he expect to see in Heaven?
2.	Which is the greater: the Father or the Son?
3.   To whom does he pray? Whom does he worship? etc. etc.
•	Now proceed by quoting Scripture to show the dual nature of Jesus: Divine and human. 
•	Show that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus (Colossians 2:9).
