>>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.

So what?

I don't suppose you've ever backslidden, huh?

I'd have to say that in my experience 100% of all Christians backslide in one way or the other.

It is our job to bring people to where they can receive the truth. If they receive it, it is God's job to see them through. And he will. Whether they backslide or not. Or don't you believe that?
