Apparently, they are more concerned on the effects it has on the congregation, rather than the victim.

They are primarily concerned with maintaining the sanctity of a particular name.
Therefore, they will merely respond by saying that "they were never one of us?"

"In the end, hell is a very disturbing truth, but also a sign of God’s justice and love, for what good father does not warn his children of danger beforehand? Many souls have been saved due to their fear of hell. And the same goes for your own child. A healthy fear of Satan and his dominion is, in fact, a grace from God. But ultimately, however, the greater fear should be the loss of heaven. Such a fear is more worthy of a holy man or woman. And it is now heaven to which we turn."

Nonsense Mike: coming to know Him is thru His love and grace flowing from His mighty draw. Not one single individual is saved due to "their fear of hell" (all four of them).

"There is no fear in love; perfect love casts out fear. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us."
