Re: Flirt To Convert???
Bad idea. A former pastor of mine, not in my current location, suggested that I do this. Crazy. Everyone else in the church had, but then had backslidden...and he apparently hadn't noticed the connection. I said, no thanks.

I got an uneasy feeling watching that clip. Wasn't sure they were recruiting for Christ.

I think that is just WRONG.

Re: Flirt To Convert???
Back in the 70's The Children Of God group had "flirty fishing". This included flirting and sex to win "converts". The larger issue is of course that we are not supposed to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
A Christian should not be interested in dating an unbeliever to start with. If they are in a position to witness to someone thats fine. But not so they can start a relationship with them. The motive should be that they may escape the wrath to come and enter the Kingdom.

Re: Flirt To Convert???
I thought it was TIC. 
Looked like they were just joking around. Like they were exagerating how they were flirting with young women to 'specifically' get them to come to church...*wink, wink*.
And I'd like to add that there is nothing wrong with young people flirting. It's how you 'test the waters' of acceptability. If they smile and are met with a cold, hard stare, they probably would move on to another! (At least if they're smart they would!)

Re: Flirt To Convert???
Recently I met a girl at a restaurant, she told me she was raising money for a missions trip. She was disturbing to me and I wondered what kind of mission work she was doing. I checked out her religion on line and found that they have a perverted history. They practiced flirtly fishing. This is the only other time I have heard of flirting to convert.

Re: Flirt To Convert???
Ok now I went and looked at the video. I couldnt understand a word they said. It certainly could be taken for a gay thing. At any rate it seemed weird to me.
