How bad theology wrecks good evangelism

On a local radio station this afternoon I heard a nice little gospel snippet. It drew an analogy between changing currency to buy abroad, and the change of currency God provides us to be in his kingdom.

Then we had a run by the substitutionary theory of the atonement.

Even if true (and I think it is itself an analogy to emphasize how Christ's victory is totally effective), it looks to our past, rather than the future in Christ's triumph.

How much better it would have been in that little spot to talk about Christ's victory over death. The way Paul did in 1 Corinthians 15, and Colossians 2:13-15.
