James Knox's Completely Unfruitful Ministry
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. (Matt 7:15-16)
GOSPEL TRACT DISTRIBUTION (Only ONE conversion despite 250,000 tracts handed out)
"Twenty years after the church was started [1985-2005], members had distributed enough gospel tracts for everyone in town [Deland] to have received a dozen. Through tract distribution we have only seen one person saved. That is a ratio of about 1 conversion per 250,000 tracts." (James Knox's Testimony: From Where I Stand, 2013,p. 147)
STREET PREACHING (Only ONE family saved in 20 years of preaching)
"We have had anywhere from one to twenty people giving forth the gospel in downtown Deland on average of once a week since 1986. We have sent teams to preach in Orlando since 1999. For all the untold multitudes who have heard the gospel proclaimed in this fashion, we have seen only one family saved." (James Knox's Testimony: From Where I Stand, 2013, p. 147)
HOUSE TO HOUSE EVANGELISM (NO ONE saved in 20 years)
"It would be impossible to calculate how many doors have been knocked upon since we started... We seek to win lost people to a genuine saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I cannot recall one person who has been saved and added to our congregation through house-to-house evangelism. (James Knox's Testimony: From Where I Stand, 2013, p. 147)
