Yeah, but if you're the Jewish student and instructors, staff and officers at the academy are telling you to accept Christ or go to Hell, it's got to be a little intimidating.

Frankly, I don't care what the students do. It's the staff that bothers me. When it's staff and officers doing it, then it becomes semi-official. That just isn't right.

Absolutely. But I don't believe for a second that a pastor addressing an assembly of 600 students would use the kind of language alleged in the article.

That's a fair point. From a Christian perspective, one should not convert out of fear or favor but conviction.
