#4. When other Christians try to evangelize you

You're in Walmart doing some holiday shopping, just trying to get your things and get out, when someone makes eye contact with you. And then that person approaches you, and without any hesitation, they give you a fake $10 bill with a Gospel tract on it.

Yup, that just happened! Someone tried to evangelize you! You, out of all people who were born and raised in the church, maybe you're even a pastor!

Right now you're embarrassed and tell the guy, "hey, I'm on your side brother." And then he's even more embarrassed for trying to convert you.

Maybe we should come up with some secret hand shake or gesture, kind of like the Masons. Or just a slight fist pump in the air, something that would avoid the confrontation with a possible Christian evangelist. And while we're on the subject, evangelizing is a great thing, and we should all be doing it. And this is why we need some sort of signal, to keep our precious tracts in the right hands.
