In the Lion's Den?

I've read about XXX Church (which reaches out to porn workers and users) before, and I haven't seen red flags in regard to their teachings or tactics, but then I haven't looked too hard. They did a great job of getting themselves portrayed well in a place that can be somewhat hostile to their message – an LATimes.com blog. Blogger Richard Abowitz caught up with them at the annual Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

Notice that when the blogger asks Gross if he thinks the porn workers and fans are going to Hell, he replies:

It is not my call to make. I screw up everyday in the things I do, and I am not a porn star. And I don't feel better than someone who is in porn.
Later, he says:

You can't blame the dark for being dark, you need to blame the light for not shining on the dark.
I hope their ministry is being used by God to bear good fruit, and that they are able to be "in, but not of" in this case.
