Well, I don't want to deceive them. If I am telling them that they are going to hell because of their own sins, when the Bible makes it clear that they are going to hell because of Adam's sin, I may be lying. I do use the WOTM method, especially using the law to show someone their sin and then after the law work is done, to do the grace work. I just want to be honest with the lost.
