Doesn’t have anything to do with love of neighbor or God. It is about respect and actuaL FEAR of the incredible power of the Lord.
Anyone with a military background is instructed how to handle guns. You are taught specifically to use a firearm and rifle. Carelessness is not tolerated; Respect the weapon. Being shot at will garner incredible fear.

Another who misunderstands the term as it relates to those who wrote it.
You just keep on eating that popcorn while I cut some hair to burn in the fire over 12 stones, and then you will be sorry, HEY, these people here were serious, they sold they house and kept a little money back for themselves, seems rational doesn't it? And then they lay dead at the door, I wonder how many times a Christian has cursed you like that whispering in they head TD?
You might should get you a big mirror to deflect any more curses, well, I will leave that to you, I know you will figure it out.

Excerpts from Qotquestions
For the unbeliever, the fear of God is the fear of the judgment of God and eternal death, which is eternal separation from God (Luke 12:5; Hebrews 10:31). For the believer, the fear of God is something much different. The believer's fear is reverence of God. Hebrews 12:28-29 is a good description of this: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe...
Some redefine the fear of God for believers to “respecting” Him. While respect is definitely included in the concept of fearing God, there is more to it than that. A biblical fear of God, for the believer, includes understanding how much God hates sin and fearing His judgment on sin—even in the life of a believer. Hebrews 12:5-11 describes God’s discipline of the believer. While it is done in love (Hebrews 12:6), it is still a fearful thing. As children, the fear of discipline from our parents no doubt prevented some evil actions. The same should be true in our relationship with God. We should fear His discipline, and therefore seek to live our lives in such a way that pleases Him.

I find the point was Not the holding back of money, but the lying about it.
They were Not forced to give all away, they just said they did. They lied. Lied to God. - Acts 5:3
Jesus forewarns that there is No forgiveness for committing the un-forgivable sin at Matthew 12:32.
They were judged as willfull, deliberate, on-purpose, intentional, premeditated sinners against God.
ALL wicked people will be 'destroyed forever' according to Psalms 92:7.

Except that Jesus said God is NOT counting our sins against us, so why are you so focused on sin as if God is counting our sins against us????

What I posted is consistent with and compatible with the characteristics of God's Holy Spirit as described in the Sermon on the mount, 1Cor 13, and Galatians 5. Yours is NOT.

I highly doubt an unbeliever fears any judgment that you would impose upon them.

That is not Biblical. Only if we repent of our sins that He will not hold it against us. But If we continue in disobedience we will answer for it.
For the believer, fear is more about reverence and awe(gotquesions)
