What bothers me is that people tolerate this kind of behavior. There are things which should NOT be messed with. Salvation/HGB is one of those things. Someone needs to go to that pastor and call him up short! Someone in his congregation needs to tell him that what he is doing is NOT pleasing to God and that he is playing God himself.
I did that very thing to a very well known UPCI evangelist, whom all on this board would know. He pulled that trick on a young man in the church I pastored. I was HOT. I called him into the pastor's office and asked if I could talk to him. I kept my cool and didn't come uncorked, but I was very firm in stating what I thought was wrong and told him that I was not alone in my thoughts on this but that most folks were afraid to say anything. Since he was the one who left me with the problem, I was not afraid to speak to him. I did not threaten or "curse him. I was clear that I did not agree with it and that I did not think it was biblical etc. We agreed to disagree and parted without anyone losing their temper. I will not disclose his name even via PM, so don't ask!
