Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to be soul winners. We are called to be WITNESSES. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8 KJV) Noah Websters 1828 dictionary states: WITNESS, noun [Saxon witnesse, from witan, to know.] 1. Testimony; attestation of a fact or event. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. John 5. 2. That which furnishes evidence or proof. Laban said, this heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Genesis 31. 3. A person who knows or sees any thing; one personally present; as, he was witness; he was an eye-witness. 1 Peter 5. 4. One who sees the execution of an instrument, and subscribes it for the purpose of confirming its authenticity by his testimony. 5. One who gives testimony; as, the witnesses in court agreed in all essential facts. With a witness, effectually; to a great degree; with great force, so as to leave some mark as a testimony behind. He struck with a witness. [Not elegant.]
