You can't call people out of the world by using worldly means. It's like trying to hold an AA meeting at a bar.

How do you explain all the Christians who have been saved under these "seeker friendly" ministries? Are they all goats? Are they all tares?

Not for me to judge, but we should bear in mind that the road to eternal life is narrow and those who find it are few.

I read somewhere that the backslider rates for this "seeker-friendly" phenomena are pretty substantial. I've also seen first-hand people that are swept up in the emotion and "experience", then a few days or weeks later are right back where they started. Not "feeling the experience" anymore.
