Yes, make unrepentant sinners feel accepted. That’s FAR more important than saving their souls! Yeah, ignore that sin stuff. It’s so old school!

You can't save someone's soul by dragging them to church and getting them to cynically mouth pieties. Too many churches today produce Churchians, not Christians.

Setting a good example and letting *true* seekers find their own path to salvation is the only way to go IMO. Although YMMV.

Not the churches I’ve attended, but who’s “dragging” people to church? People are free to attend or not attend, but I’m very skeptical of any Christian who is unwilling to associate with fellow believers.

The Bible says to go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come to hear the Word.

Thats true for people of all types and not limited to Churches. People want the benefit without paying the bill.

I agree absolutely.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this, but Jesus very clearly stated we are to preach the gospel, making disciples of all nations. In other words, we aren't supposed to just be nice and never verbally witness about Jesus to people.
