Baptist preachers
#2
As former Baptist preacher, I can assure you that your summary is very nearly accurate. They have this obsession that if they do not prod the next soul into a decision, then that person might "die without Jesus." They talk spiritual birth, but they always congratulate themselves if they can get someone to say the right words and do the right rituals -- a "public profession of faith" and baptism. Of course, any inkling of post-decision "discipleship" is equally cerebral. The whole thing is a matter of "renewing the mind" via conditioning. But you can be sure that Baptist preachers put an awful lot of resources and effort into "getting people saved."

I call it filling churches with spiritual stillborns.
