Simply put, this subject is exactly what it's labled. (And by 'save', I'm reffering to the ideal of, 'say this little prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and then you've got your fire insurance and can go back to living the way you were' type of thing.)
Jesus tells us to go and make disciples (disciples normally meaning those who are disciplined in a specific way, or who follow a specific discipline, in this case the teachings of Christ,) of all people. But are we ever told, in scripture, to go out and save people?
-EDIT-
Oh, and yes, the questions/explanations are paraphrased and simplified. Please answer the intent of the question if possible, and not the exact wording.

HonorBoundKnight Simply put, this subject is exactly what it's labled. (And by 'save', I'm reffering to the ideal of, 'say this little prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and then you've got your fire insurance and can go back to living the way you were' type of thing.) Jesus tells us to go and make disciples (disciples normally meaning those who are disciplined in a specific way, or who follow a specific discipline, in this case the teachings of Christ,) of all people. But are we ever told, in scripture, to go out and save people? First off, after you are saved you dont go back living the way you were. You are a born again christian and you now live for the Lord, not for yourself and the sake of man. As for the Bible saying things like spread the word, look up Matthew 14:15-16; heck, read all four of the gospels and Acts, they are all about spreading the Word.
