Nor should they. Giving is a principle inherent with receiving the Spirit of the Lord, and wanting the kingdom of God to prosper. But being told you must pay a certain percentage or "go to hell" (as I've heard it taught in so many words)... this goes completely against the grain of the principle of the NT giving!
Teach giving! Teach giving as the Lord has prospered you, teach that giving doesn't just consist of dollars and cents... and see what the Lord will be able to do!
