Abstract

Churches and Christians can be affected by the impact of Christianization in preaching the gospel because the gospel is the joyful news of salvation in Jesus Christ. The statement of Christianization is one of the obstacles to accelerating the spread of the gospel. To conduct this research, the author uses qualitative research methods which is a library study. Data information is obtained from textbooks and literature as the main object. So, through this method, the writer describes, classifying, and compiling the relationship between humans and humans as well as The environment to get a complete and comprehensive understanding. Christianization is considered a way for Christians to influence, persuade and provoke the Islamic community according to the Christian lifestyle. Will this affect the evangelism process in Indonesia? Are Christians and churches affected by the impact of Christianization? Churches and Christians need to respond to this question because churches and Christians suspect that Christianization can "harm the process of preaching the Gospel" Because the preaching of the gospel knows no boundaries, whatever influence it has, let alone Christianization, it is still important to declare the gospel to anyone. Indeed, the impact of Christianization has become one of the issues that have been loudly voiced to hinder the acceleration of the process of preaching the Gospel in Indonesia.
