I'm not disagreeing with you that these other cults are passionate about recruiting and that the majority of Christian denominations have a long way to go to make up the difference in efforts in this regard, but there's something to be said for presenting the Gospel in such a way that people don't hide from you when you come around.

In other words, there's more to the saying of "Preach the Gospel continuously, use words when necessary." than what there appears at first. Our witness of Christ is not in beating on doors and cajoling people into joining, but allowing the Grace of God to show in our lives to the point that the unbelievers want to know what makes us different. We must decrease so that He may increase.

Spreading heresy should not be admired
