My thoughts are that no visitor should ever leave without understanding that they must:
1) Repent
2) Be baptized
3) Receive the Holy Ghost (with speaking in tongues as evidence).
What would you do if you felt your pastor did not preach the salvation message as often as you would like?

For the most part I agree with you. However, I see the Pastor as the "teacher" and "mentor" of the body. It's the body's job to present the Gospel to the Lost and bring them into the church for education regarding the things of God. I look at the spiritual landscape of America... could it be that the "church" is leaving the Salvation message in the hands of those who see as ministers instead of taking it to the ends of the earth on our jobs, when shopping, at the barber shop, beauty salon, pet store, etc???
It is my conviction that a visitor should already understand the salvation message BEFORE coming to church. Just my opinion though.
God bless!
