I don’t know of any persecutor who would publicly say, “I hate God and I’m persecuting this man because I worship satan!” If you’re expecting to hear that before you grant persecution then Jesus, Paul and Stephen weren’t persecuted either.
Also, don’t forget that those who persecute Christians are under demonic influence. It’s as if many in the church no longer believe in demonic oppression. Demons influence people, cities and countries.
There’s a pastor in jail because he thinks it’s his duty to gather with all the people God entrusted to his care and preach the Gospel. If you think it’s ok to hold seven services or meet on zoom in perpetuity and not sing together fine, but don’t be foolish, this is persecution.
Tread very carefully if you’re going to side with this hell-bound demonic world above your fellow brother in Christ with whom you will spend eternity. Don’t be the guys in Philippians 1:17 who preach Christ from jealousy and selfish ambition.
