Actually, I agree that it was inappropriate for this street preacher to be out there ruining a peaceful night of trick or treating and going on about the evils of smoking cigarettes, getting drunk, and looking at porn (right at the beginning of the video). As the person said at 1:31, he wasn't doing any good, and no one was listening. That was just as annoying as street preachers going to the beach and preaching to the beach goer's who are just trying to have a good time in the sun and sand and water.
Rent an auditorium and advertise a preaching event at such and such day and time, and those who want to attend will do so.
Your post is common among false teachers of the OSAS false doctrine. You are critical of a Brother, yet in agreement with an unbeliever. Jesus went out where the people were and preached to repent or perish.

So, after the street preacher was rejected why did he not shake the dust off of his feet and move on?...

On the other hand, John the Baptist preached out in the wilderness by the Jordan River and people came out to hear him and be baptized. And Jesus taught in the synagogues and the temple, by the side of the sea, on a hill, etc. and crowds came out to hear Him speak. Crowds actually followed Him around and wanted to hear what He had to say. Yet, He didn't stay where He wasn't wanted such as in His own home town (Luke 4:16-30) and the country of the Gadarenes (Matthew 8:28-9:1).
The doctrine of the believer's eternal security (OSAS) has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Might as well dig a hole in the ground and hide from all of the evil around you. I think the exaltation of death comes from watching the nightly 5:00 news, not halloween.
Funny that a person who salivates over people burning for an eternity thinks a dress-up party for children is evil.
Your criticism is unjust. You judge God for unfairness, but seem to embrace it well enough yourself. A double standard is on display with no reservations at all. Hate of all that is good is the real issue here, not religion only.
No one who hopes for the good for their neighbor salivates over their neighbor when he falls into a trap. Stating the truth has always been risky in a corrupt society, and ours has become thoroughly debauched. Refusal to respond to mistreatment is now rewarded with lies and false accusations. One wonders how you yourself would respond to insults and lies and persecution. Not well I'd guess.
What sort of twisted moral standard do you suggest replace the idea that its good to save the lost, refrain from responding to insults or to speak the truth? Are you a politician or a lawyer, or just a perv that wants to satisfy his lust without the consequence of a guilty conscience? You can holler all you want, but the truth is that you can't indulge in sin without the guilt that comes with it. Guilt follows sin as day follows night. Its a fact of life. Wake up and smell the coffee.
The guilt is within you and hating others for revealing it in the light of truth won't make it go away.
Only through repentance and salvation in the name of Jesus Christ can one escape guilt. The truth here is that you are heading for a godless eternity and seem to want to justify the trip. Perhaps your addiction to sin and wickedness has so clouded your mind that you cannot admit to the advantages of good morals and sound judgment....and a touch of humility as well.
The fact remains that a guilty conscience riles you. Your harsh words only betray to the world what you deny in yourself. You are a sinner and it aggravates you. If the time comes when you become weary of carrying that load of sinful guilt around in you - remember that Jesus Christ can lift the burden. But don't delay too long. We live in a dangerous world and there's no guarantee that any of us will survive another year, or month, or week or day.
The time to repent is NOW.
and that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

Oh, come down off of that lofty choir loft - the altitude is preventing oxygen from getting to your brain. Look, the people in the video just wanted to have a nice Halloween celebration with their children going trick or treating for candy and trinkets without being preached AT for one night. I'm sure some of them are regular churchgoers and are well aware of their sin and guilt, as you believe. Maybe they wanted ONE night off from thinking about it to just enjoy with their children and not have preaching shoved in their faces. Sure, they were raucous in their responses to the so-called "preachers", but it was pretty much tit for tat as the preachers were yelling at them as well. Yeah, I know, every day might be the last one. Let people enjoy the day as they choose - you're not responsible for everyone. That's why G-d gave us free will.

I don't sin.
If it bothers your godling, maybe you should consider giving it up too.
That's just me, whispering from the sanity section.
