Lifestyle and Evangelism - what are they and how do they rate?

Hello;

What exactly is lifestyle evangelism and friendship evangelism? And how do they rate Scripturally?

In Peter we are told always to be ready to give an answer... but is this answer really evangelism or merely a response when needed?


Also, is there anything fishy about the premise of friendship evangelism, making friends to evangelize. Seems deceptive. Isn't it easier for the Gospel to spread within a web of relations that already exists rather than try to make new friends to lead them to Jesus?

Any thoughts?
