I also am disturbed by certain gimmicks geared at drawing a crowd: things like giveaways, raffles, etc. all for the purpose of beefing up the attendance and getting more filled with the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately, very few, if any remain.
Scare tactics, gimmicks, and so forth are not what Jesus or His apostles did.

I'm curious, brethren, of what you all think of this website: http://www.gowinsouls.com, specifically in the method proposed of witnessing. I've been hesitant to ask this of you all, as I don't want to offend anyone that may support the site or personally know those involved. But I'm concerned about the same things mentioned in this discussion, and in my opinion, the website promotes some of those tactics.
To me, when a person is encouraged to receive the Holy Ghost but is not told about baptism, even if later on they get baptized, it's just not the same. Most times they end up being unbroken, unsubmissive, charismatic-type church members. After all, when repentance is transformed into "I'm sorry for my sins" and baptism in Jesus name is omitted, what we have is Billy Graham plus the Holy Ghost. It's really no different from what so-called charismatic churches do.
