Christian Street Evangelists Met With Anger, Spat on at Women's March
Bible-believing street evangelists warning against all sin, including abortion and homosexuality, were shouted down, spat on and had water thrown on them by participants of the Women's March on Washington on Saturday afternoon.
Along Pennsylvania Avenue, a group of over 10 street preachers from various states branched off into two different huddles — each with a megaphone and signs warning that "hell awaits" those who sin and calling for people to repent.
Some did not take kindly to what the street preachers were saying.
Kerrigan Skelly, a street evangelist from Kentucky, told The Christian Post that he was spit on while speaking over the megaphone. Skelly and witnesses tell CP that the person who spat on him was a lesbian woman....

As he is a Pelagian street preacher, who denies the substitutionary atonement of Christ (imputation of sinners’ sin to Christ on the cross & Christ’s righteousness to sinners upon justification. As he denies original sin, & he believes in & teaches sinless per-fectionism. I believe Palgius was was branded a heretic by the CATHOLIC CHURCH, for his teaching on original sin and free will. Do you believe that babies if they die go to hell? Can you tell me what you believe biblical doctrine of original sin is. And why you sin or believe you can't stop sinning., is it impossible? Praise the Lord

You just promoted their names Nik. Don't get me wrong, if they are as you described people should support them with $$.
At least they aren't lazy ministers of Satan living it up in Sin City on donations from hateful anti RCC losers like other ministers that are mentioned on this forum

Just thinking out loud
Do you think preachers choosing this venue might have an ulterior motive, like raising $$$$??

"The Puritans believed, along with the Reformation, that it is not the responsibility of every Christian to be an evangelist, or to, in that sense, evangelize. This might go against the flow of what contemporary Christians think concerning sharing the Gospel, but those concepts are mutually different. For example, the Puritans thought that the “office” of an evangelist ceased when the office of the apostle ceased, (see John Owen on this). They saw this as an extraordinary office, not an ordinary one. They also made a distinction between “evangelism” and “sharing the Gospel,” or, “being a witness for the Gospel.” Being a witness for Christ, or sharing a testimony or leading someone down the “Roman Road” of salvation is not evangelism as the Bible defines it in that regard. Everyone is called to be a witness to the Gospel. But not everyone is called to be an evangelist (the office which ceased when the apostolic office ceased.) “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” (1Peter 3:15). Formal evangelism is accomplished by the role of the pastor, or elder, who has been set apart for the office.Eph 4:11." apuritansmind.com

No, I don't mind you saying whatever is on your mind, it's a free country with freedom of speech, so feel free and use your freedom.
However, you make a grave error. Let me explain.
You won't find calvinistic preachers showing hatred for sinners, screaming at them and slobbering at the mouth, hoping that everyone who hears them will suffer in hell. The reason for this is because all who believe the doctrines of grace have had all their pride snuffed out of them by revelation of their true estate, (namely, totally depraved, having a wicked and deceitful heart) and this, by a sovereign work of the Holy Ghost, undeserved and unsought, but merely by the good pleasure of God's will. And so, when they see sinners, they see themselves as they would be without grace. This is why they are respectful and charitable towards them. Anything else is self-righteousness.
A "street preacher of that sort", namely the slobbering, ugly demonstration (of self-righteousness) will be arminist rather than calvinist, because of pride.
But there are still arminist street preachers who are not of that ilk, who are most gracious in delivering the gospel message. SeewhatImean?
John UK wrote: ..it would seem that any street preacher of that sort would inevitably be arminist in doctrine, thinking that conversion is just a matter of getting sinners to believe correctly and make a suitable response. And so their argument is all important, a sort of technique. But Calvinistic preachers are looking for a sovereign work of God in the hearts of sinners; the new birth no less.
If you don't my saying so, you seem to vacillate between 2.

Let me take you on a tour of, say, France, so as you get the drift. How many Christians are in France? Not many. How many Flower Children or Frenchies are in France? Hardly any. If the French people are going to hear the gospel, through whom will they hear it? It's likely they will NEVER hear the gospel in their entire lifetime. Got any tears yet? If not, why not? Would you anathematise France? For being so wicked? Or did God say, "Go ye into ALL the world and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE." And you grumble if some altar call waller does the job?
If alter call waller or arminist (as you call them) do the job, why worry about the distinction between them and the calvinists? Or should we send defective doctrine only to the desperate?
Ye have heard that it hath been said; thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. That ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?. do not even the publicans the same?.And if ye salute your brethern only; what do ye more than others?. do not even the publicans so?. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48) AV.
I would not have gone down there. Those people were angry and belligerent. Like witnessing at a gay parade. Just my opinion. I would say that Ashley Judd and Gloria Steinem came from broken homes and I think their fathers had little to do with them growing up. Madonna's mom died when she was a young child. These women have anger issues that seemed linked to their domestic situations while growing up. I suspect a lot of these women at this march have a similar story. Couple that with not having a hope in Christ and we see this. I hope we are all praying for these folks. They desperately need Christ. This is not amusing and is heartbreaking.
Hey MS and John. I have gotten cards from my church that have the Church name on them from my church and we talked about getting the 6 disc cd burning computer running to make some CDs. Our congregation is tiny. But I'm gonna take your advice and inquire some more, so they know I'm serious.
I looked up street preaching in San Diego and I found some street preachers that I wouldn't want to go and spread the word with, by the way their videos look
There are many faithful evangelists who go out to street preach who have received comparable or worse treatment. Why is this one newsworthy? Maybe to be used towards the "great divide" between the "good" guys and the "bad". I just don't see the Apostles crying to the press about their poor treatment. If Skelly was doing what God called him to do then he probably wouldn't have either. Makes for "good" press though and the CP is just the one to run with it.

Everyone take note. The only thing to be added to Brother John's post is a hardy "Amen."
