Here is my teaching on the basics of the Gospel for Zion’s Hope, Inc. (the ministry I work for), at our headquarters just outside of Orlando, Florida.
This video is 28 minutes, but moves swiftly and hits many points and covers many verses.
Enjoy!

But I had none over the weekend, so the 3-day average is lacking!

I agree wholeheartedly with your point about respecting where the person is. When we first moved to Michigan, my children and I visited a church, and a few days later a couple of ladies came to my house to “get to know me.”
They went through a very rehearsed evangelistic presentation, even though I told them repeatedly that I knew the Lord and loved Him with all my heart. It was as though they didn’t know how to adlib, so they kept on tryin to get me saved. (I think they “succeeded” in the end. 😉 ) My daughter was part laughing, part fuming, and after they left she paid me one of the best compliments I’ve ever received – “I can’t believe those ladies! Mom, you’re the most Christian person I know!” ❤

Great story, and I had the same experience when I moved to Orlando. Almost the same scenario as yours, except, when they were done, I said, “You know, I’m not sure about your church. I’d like to ask YOU some questions.”
I mentioned some of the things I did in this video; they were lost. I finally told them that they failed the test and I was not going to attend their church.
Looking back, it was the wrong thing to do, but it does show how Christians need to know their stuff and not just read off a script!

Wow.
I guess it’s also true that you can have all the “right answers” memorized but not truly believe them. Having been raised something besides Christian, in a way it’s easier to know you’re really saved.
