As Christians we desire to share our faith and witness to others. But when False-Christian or Non-Christian cult members come to our door to talk or drop off their literature, we have to follow scripture rather than let them in. These days one has to also be aware that there are many false teachers (read Jude), even pastors of churches are falling away and preaching another gospel. The Bible clearly instructs us in 2 John verses 9-11 not to give any encouragement to them:

In other words, don't give them a greeting, don't let them in your door, don't shake their hand and don't take their literature. It's doubtful that they will be persuaded by your discussion with them, but if you wish to talk do so outside, regardless of weather conditions.

Some have spoken with Jehovah's Witnesses cult members and were surprised to find the following:

• They did not want to go to Heaven (this really stunned me)
• Were hesitant to admit that they didn't believe in people going to a conscious Hell.
• JW's believe Jesus is just a high angel type figure. They deny the Deity of Jesus. JW's deny that Jesus is God, The Supreme Being.

Both Heaven and Hell were spoken about by God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. In so doing, they are in effect calling Jesus a liar. JW's also say that Jesus is not God, contrary to scripture. (If you find yourself speaking with a JW cult member, I recommend that you refer to Jesus as, in the Hebrew, YHWH, otherwise they will attempt to persuade you that Jesus is only a high angel, is "god" but with a small "g",
JW's totally reject Jesus as YHWH Himself.) Cult members such as JW's and Morman's to name but only 2, spread a false gospel message, and Satan is all for that.

If you wish to say anything and they don't listen to what scripture says about salvation through Jesus then, tell the cult members that they are doing an evil work and that you are praying that they leave the cult and accept Jesus to be saved. There's also some great Christian sites that give other advice on the subject.

I think Morman ladies wonder if their husband will call them up or not. I understand a the rock musician is a JW now. I pray he'll accept Jesus and turn away from this cult he is in.

From Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

Galatians 1:6-9 Those who would establish any other way to heaven than what the gospel of Christ reveals, will find themselves wretchedly mistaken. The apostle presses upon the Galatians a due sense of their guilt in forsaking the gospel way of justification; yet he reproves with tenderness, and represents them as drawn into it by the arts of some that troubled them. In reproving others, we should be faithful, and yet endeavour to restore them in the spirit of meekness. Some would set up the works of the law in the place of Christ's righteousness, and thus they corrupted Christianity. The apostle solemnly denounces, as accursed, every one who attempts to lay so false a foundation. All other gospels than that of the grace of Christ, whether more flattering to self-righteous pride, or more favourable to worldly lusts, are devices of Satan. And while we declare that to reject the moral law as a rule of life, tends to dishonour Christ, and destroy true religion, we must also declare, that all dependence for justification on good works, whether real or supposed, is as fatal to those who persist in it. While we are zealous for good works, let us be careful not to put them in the place of Christ's righteousness, and not to advance any thing which may betray others into so dreadful a delusion.
