That is morally questionable behavior at the very least.

We all know they're God's people, and they're all owned by God, and are members of HIS church, etc. No one here disagrees with that fact.

But what we are talking about here primarily is the practice of a church building up it's membership by cherry-picking members of an already established church. Some pastors are going to be more offended/bothered by that practice than others, but the key issue here is the people doing it and thinking it's ok.
The fact it, it happens. I've personally witnessed it in action, and always felt it was wrong. Ultimately, I find it hard to believe that God is pleased with that kind of stuff happening.
Thank you. I don't understand how people are getting what was posted mixed up. This is about one church targeting others of the same faith supposedly. And they are doing so based on race. I would be against any church trying to get larger by working on members of another congregation to begin with. But this whole idea of doing so based on race just makes it stink even more
