Because it might expose them to danger (even though they're already saved and guaranteed to go to Heaven)...<br /><br />"It suddenly hit Buck that he had taken a huge risk. It wouldn't be long before Verna Zee learned that he had, at least at one time, been a full-fledged member of New Hope Valley Church. He had been careful about not taking a leadership rule there, not speaking in public, not being known to very many people. Now [Verna] would have knowledge that could ruin him, even cost him his life."aunursanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-60660177119579934152013-02-11T15:49:08.051-08:002013-02-11T15:49:08.051-08:00Re: Vicki:

Which I guess is the exact opposite of faith-before-works.<br /><br />If I were building an evil pseudoreligion and were worried about people standing up and preaching the Wrong Stuff, I'd set up a great big tesla coil so that they could be conveniently struck by lightning when I pressed the button. Eh, maybe it's just me.<br /><br />"Vicki tries to get them to convert by telling them something worse will happen but when they ask what exactly will happen, she says they're not ready to know."<br /><br />I am speechless.
