When are the lost going to hear the preaching of preachers sent by God so that they might be saved? (Rom 10)



Which includes the call. Are you saying that preaching of the word is not for the lost, but only for the converted?
The preaching of the word is not specifically for the lost. The main form of bringing people into the church is through birth, .

It is one form, true, but most assuredly not THE MAIN one, or else we are looking at a very sick church, indeed.
