If your church has an inspired message and a Pastor able to convey that message to the congregation, such cheesy promotions would not be necessary.

The more curious thing is this -- where did they get all that money to give away these prices ? Not even the richest companies in Wall Street provide such gimmick.

I agree that may well be the case, but many of the disciples came for the bread, and not the BREAD. I hope it can serve some good.

Do they teach the doctrine of sin, the reality of judgement, the divinity of Christ, the Atonement of His Sacrifice, His death and resurrection, and the exclusivity of salvation through His atonement?

These are the essentials. The “Emergent” churches avoid or even deny these essentials.

You were saying ...

Ummmm..., not necessarily so... unfortunately.

Cheesy productions don't do it and having a good/Biblical and sound message doesn't do it either.

If people aren't inclined to hear the Word of God in the first place, it doesn't matter how good the message is (even the best Biblical sermon you've ever heard) -- it just won't work.

People get saved when they're ready to be saved, it being a work of God and not of themselves.

And some people will never get saved, no matter what, and will face an eternity of torment and separation from God and all that is good, in the lake of fire.
