If the New Testament has any say in the matter, evangelism takes place when an authorised preacher of the gospel officially proclaims what God has done in Christ for the reconciling of sinners and calls upon sinners to repent and believe in order to be saved. Upon profession of faith and repentance the same authorised preacher is warranted in administering baptism, as a sign and seal of salvation and entrance into the visible church, both to the professor and his household. Where there is no authority to publicly admit persons into the visible church by means of baptism, there is no evangelism in the biblical sense of the term. Besides this, all believers ought to maintain a good confession before the world by sharing their faith where opportunity presents and shining their light by good works adorning their Christian profession.
