Peter did.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Jude did
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

i think it is wise to reach conclusions for yourself, that being that you need to seek your own salvation, not perpetuate some Pentecostal Inquisition. Or by all means keep doing that if you like, but see that that is what has got you to here.
Yes, sponsoring 100k Muslims would be apparently "hating your life," reckless and foolish; if you are scared for your life. By all means then, keep espousing All Muslims Are Lost, and see what that gets you. I get along with Muslims just fine, guys. I have no daughters, to witness my hypocrisy, and you know what? Your daughters aren't going to come onto a forum and make it obvious, with Scripture, that you don't even believe what you have faith in, in 5-6 different places, you want me to pull them back up?
They are just going to witness that the Muslims among them now seem to be fine, they aren't even out demonstrating against our atrocities, and they are going to absorb "All Muslims are lost, all Catholics are lost, the Pents across the street are lost" from you, whether you even say that out loud or not, because surely you are making your unfounded fears known, wringing your hands about Muslims in the news, etc, and about the time you "prove" to them with Paul how terrible everyone else is, they are going to get interested in Islam, and you are going to be meeting a surprise new inlaw.
You want to lead people to Christ? That's great. Love God and your neighbor. It's 9/10ths of all that law that you are trying to justify your position with, and you aren't doing it, so the insistence on the legal part is just going to ring hollow, even if it is truth. But no, you resist even this statement by Christ, "...is 9/10ths of the law and the prophets," and somehow manage to turn it into a warning against following the law?
