Correct; your description is semantically and pragmatically incompatible with mine; the legal system doesn't recognize our descriptions as portraying the same event; and as such your description doesn't represent my cult's beliefs.
It shouldn't be a problem to make your case using my description. Plenty of paramedics still get sued (unsuccessfully perhaps) even after a patient signs a refusal form, so you're in good company for thinking its wrong to respect consent. Surely there's plenty to criticize in the narrative that God sacrificed himself for everyone, opened wide the gates of heaven, and people are free to refuse salvation. You can even try to convince me that my interpretation of Scripture is wrong. But its incoherent to argue that our descriptions are the same.
If you refuse my wedding invitation, I'm not the one leaving you out.
