OGIA here's the thing and yes it matters what one believes.
Suppose you are trying to reach folks who are not very grounded in the word ,and they have just lost a loved one wouldn't it be better to use tact , and try to use wisdom to reach these folks ,in time if they get grounded they'll come to ubderstand things.
A lot of preachers take the opportunity to preach the Gospel at funerals so that the relatives, if they're unsaved, have the opportunity to hear the truth and how they can be sure of their own eternal destiny if they want to escape hell.

I'm for trying reach the lost anyway we can but I'm also for using wisdom and tact.

I did that one time. I think it can and should be done. but you dont start out with "your loved one is now in hell. REPENT" especially when they were a committed christian. that would just make everyone mad....
now if they were a rank sinner, and the family wanted you to preach that, well that would be entirely different.... I suppose.

I don't agree with this at all.
