I always like to bring that up, lol. But yes, in our attempts to avoid legalism we often go too far to the opposite extreme and avoid proclaiming Christ at all. But I don't think that is the primary concern for most folks. I think most simply have worldly concerns like those mentioned in my post: fear of losing their job or social status. In those cases, they need an encounter with God's love, and they may first need to have an encounter of their own depravity. If our sin is small, then our Savior will be also....

I think one of the great consequences of fundamentalism in the early 1900's was that Christians today are so turned off by legalism that we have a hard time determining how to be "known as Christians" without injecting man-made legalism. This consequence of course is also augmented by other problems from that same period of time like foolish views of the end times and arguments over which drunk monarch 600 years ago best translated Hebrew and Greek to English.
