>>Whatever method was used to get them to the door is irrelevant.<<
Not to the seeker-sensitive churches it isn't! Luring them in with shiny things is most relevant! Right? Whatever it takes, and such.
If they're brought in under false pretenses, it matters very much.
It ALL hinges on motives.
See my other comments on "conditional worship" and "bait n' switch" for follow-up.
They are not being brought in under false pretenses. That is a scurrilous charge. They have made their services more "seeker friendly". There is no biblical prohibition against being friendly or wearing jeans or drinking cokes in the assembly. IMO, Your attitude is pretty close to Pharisicalism. (is that a word?)
Now you appear to have failed to answer my question. Perhaps you missed it:
(assuming that nobody lied to them to get them in the door)... The fact that they have arrived is what is important and in that sense they are there by divine appointment. Correct?
