Two Important Questions to Ask

To find out if a person understands the gospel, you would ask them:

“In your opinion, how does a person get saved?”

Any answer besides “by receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior,” or something to that effect indicates that the person does not understand the gospel, and tat you need to present it to him or her.  Use your booklet.

The second question you use after you have presented the gospel.  This helps you know if the person understood the gospel presentation or not, and whether he or she has assurance.

“If you were to die right now, would you know for certain that you would have eternal life?”

If they answer, “yes,” then you can assume that they understood your gospel presentation.  If they answer “no,” then go over 1 John 5:9-12 with them.
