My opinion in research is this. Lifestyle evangelism is the actual way to introduce the gospel. It was only the apostles and their helpers, the assistant apostles (e.g. Timothy under the directive of Apostle Paul), who evangelized. Which got me to question and conclude: Though the gospel is “The Urgency Gospel,” it is also “The Patience Gospel.” The urgency and the patience of the gospel: Urgency in initiative: Scripture explicitly teaches the apostles are the initiative evangelists, meaning the apostles need nobody's permission to preach when they are prompted by the Holy Spirit. Lifestyle evangelism is the norm taught by the apostles for all non-evangelist church members. They are to be the patience gospel, the"walk the talk" evangelists. The walk will draw enquirers, which will activate their readiness for evangelism. Scripture explicitly teaches the non-apostles are the “walk the talk” evangelists, meaning you are to live a life so pure until it incites curiosity in the beholders to which you respond as an evangelist. This seems to be a paradox but I concede that there can be exceptions to the rule. When prompted by the Spirit, we the lifestyle evangelist must take the initiative.

Lifestyle evangelism simply means that the believer becomes the bible to the unbeliever, because the unbeliever doesn't read Bible so they study the lifestyle of the believer. Mathew 5:14.
