Number 1 will keep the movement somewhat small. Number 2 is what I would call the McDojo approach to religion.
What is a McDojo?
There are two kinds of combat sports/martial arts gyms, the Fight Gym, and the McDojo or "Family Martial Arts" gym. The fight Gym is like an old school boxing gym. You sign up to learn to box. As a result, they tend to be small, can't pay the bills, not too many people want to pay money to learn how to get punched in the face. The McDojo however is all about how you too can learn teh dedly martial arts BUT you don't have to actually fight or do any kind of serious sparring or mess up your makeup. Fitness classes for everyone! They appeal to the masses and make lots of money and open up branch gyms and franchises. But most of their students would get obliterated in the ring or the octagon by people who train at the Fight Gyms.

McDojo is Charismatic Martial arts. Individuals who have a Dojo and teach nonsense. Hurt or kill their students, and call chi movement a martial art, when it is utter baloney. Some idiot watched Shaw Bros lip sync Kung Fu, and Naruto then applies what they mimic in real time.
Jesus is tolerant, and a gentleman. Just like He told His apostles. When they saw a man casting out demons in His name, but wasn’t one of His followers. He told His apostles to leave the guy alone. Because no one could do miracles in Jesus name and bad mouth Him. I don’t want to be that guy. I don’t want to merrily go on my ecclesiastical way, and find out I’m not following the Shepard.
These Senseis in these dojos are dangerous, not only they can hurt or kill their students physically. But they harm their students mentally. Where they take their mumbo jumbo out into the real world and get knocked on their tail gate. Or dead.
Same with Church.
I don’t want God making a McDojo video about me.
