Absolutely Not! The spreading of the Gospel message is equal in importance as preaching against sin.

Maybe, I’d have to pray a lot about it.

Chan, very good comments!
You have revealed the points that I created this thread to make. The Good News cannot be seperated from Holiness preaching, and yet we stand here bearing witness to the fact that it's actually happening in our churches today.
This should not happen in our churches, yet it is happening!!!

As a Christian Minister I'm supposed to warn folks to flee the wrath to come ,and the wages of sin is death.
But I only preach what the Bible calls sin.

After some thought I decided to vote
"Maybe, I’d have to pray a lot about it."
There are certain times for things - depending on many situations and the people being addressed etc.
I may choose not to condemn in a particular instance to let the message of God's love work first.

I agree................
How can you spread the Gospel and not preach against sin?

I would never act stupid and say, "God made Adam and Eve - not Adam and Steve!"
Sheesh!
And yes, if I felt led to preach against it, I would.
I also agree with some of the other posters - you can't preach the Gospel without addressing sin. The Gospel delivers us from sin.

A scripture popped into my head when I read this post. Preaching the Gospel is all about winning souls to Jesus Christ.
In regard to soul winning Jesus said.......
Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Go and learneth what that meaneth.
