  3. Cristian Propaganda In Punjab and Their Rules to Covert Sikh to Christianity! 1.Do not criticize or condemn Sikhism. There is much that is good and much that is bad in the practice of both Christianity and Sikh-ism. Pointing out the worst aspects of Sikh-ism is hardly the way to win friends or show love. Criticizing Sikhism can make us feel we have won an argument; it will not win Sikhs to Jesus Christ. 2.Avoid everything that hints of triumphalism and pride.We are not the greatest people with the greatest religion, but some Sikhs are taught that we think of ourselves in this way. We do not have all knowledge of all truth; in fact we know very little (1 Cor 8:1,2). to become “Christian.” (Think of what that means to a Sikh—India like America or Europe!) But we do desire all India to find peace and joy and true spirituality. 3.Never allow a suggestion that separation from family and/ or culture is necessary in becoming a disciple of Christ. To insist or even subtly encourage a Sikh to leave his home and way of life to join the “Christian” way of life in terms of diet and culture, etc., is a denial of Biblical teaching (1 Cor. 7:17-24). 4.Do not speak quickly on hell , or on the fact that Jesus is the only way for salvation. Sikhs hear these things as triumphalism and are offended unnecessarily. Speak of hell only with tears of compassion. Point to Jesus so that it is obvious He is the only way, but leave the Sikh to see for himself, rather than trying to force it on him. 5.Never hurry.Any pushing for a decision or conversion will do great harm. God must work, and the Holy Spirit should be given freedom to move at his own pace. Even after a profession of Christ is made, do not force quick changes regarding pictures of gods, charms, etc. Be patient and let a person come to fuller understand-ing and conviction in his own mind before taking action. 6.Work traditional Sikh (and Biblical)values into your life,like simplicity, renunciation, spirituality and humility, against which there is no law. A life reflecting the reality of “a still and quiet soul” (Psalm 131) will never be despised by Sikhs. 7.Know Sikhism,and each individual Sikh. It will take some study to get a broad grasp of Sikhism and patient listening will be required to understand where in the spectrum each Sikh stands. Both philosophi-cal and devotional Sikhism should be studied with the aim of understanding what appeals to the Sikh heart. Those who move seriously into work among Sikhs need to become more knowledge-able in Sikhism than Sikhs themselves are. Some study of the Punjabi language will prove invaluable. Remember the Biblical pattern from Acts 17 of introducing truth to the Sikh from his own tradition, and only secondarily from the Bible. For example, the Biblical teaching on sin is repulsive to many modern Sikhs, but their own scriptures give an abun-dance of similar testimony. Bridge from Sikh scripture to the Bible and Christ. 8.Be quick to acknowledge failure. Defending wrong practices in the church and Western Christianity only indicates we are more concerned for our religion than we are for truth. 9.Share your testimony, describing your personal experience of lostness and God’s gracious forgiveness and peace. Don’t claim to know God in His majesty and fullness, but share what you know in your life and experience. This is the supreme approach in presenting Christ to the Sikh, but care must be taken that our sharing is appropriate. To shout on a street corner, or share at every seeming opportu-nity is offensive. What God does in our lives is holy and private, only to be shared in intimacy to those who will respect the things of God and his work in our lives. 10.Center on Christ.He alone can win their hearts’ total loyalty to Himself. In your life and speech so center on him that all see in your life that God alone is worth living for. Sikhism is often called “God-intoxicated,” and the Sikh who lives at all in this frame of mind is put off by Christian emphases on so many details to the neglect of the “one thing that is needed” (Lk. 10:42). A Sikh who professes faith in Christ must be helped as far as possible to work out the meaning of that commitment in his own cultural context. Often a new follower of Christ is ready to adopt any and every practice of Western Christians, and needs to be taught what is essential and what is secondary in Christian life and worship. For example, it can be shown that the Eastern practice of removing shoes in a place of worship has strong Biblical precedence despite the fact that shoes are worn in Western churches. A new believer should be warned against making an abrupt announcement to his or her family, since that inflicts great pain and inevitably produces deep misunderstanding. Ideally, a Sikh will share each step of the pilgrimage to Christ with his or her family, so that there is no surprise at the end. An early stage of the communication, to be reaffirmed continually, would be the honest esteem for Indian/Sikh traditions in general that the disciple of Christ can and does maintain.
