Sister, here this. Trust the Spirit within you. Do not follow any criterion in your witnessing. The best thing you can do is let your light shine (walk in holiness) and follow where God leads. Men cannot give you the answers. I am not saying you are wrong for consulting with others you feel are believers, but when it hits the fans, regardless of what anyone (including myself) has said to you, you have to follow the Spirit and nothing else.
