Re: Allowing children to seek the Holy Ghost?
A little broad brushing there on your part I think. I don't know why you would address ex UPCers rather than UPC members. But that aside, a child seeking the Lord should never be motivated by fear whether placed by others or a misconstrued view of their Heavenly Father. When I became a Christian in my mid teens, and later spoke in tongues, I do not remember fear being the motivation - though I think I have seen it in some others.
It is wrong and yes I would intervene.
