I don't think so. These are not people doing good but stirring up hatred for people who actually do good.
Their definition of evil is, those who do not agree with us.
I can see if you do not want to fight and that's ok and probably fighting with these kind of people is futile anyway.
peace be with you and I will stay in the war a bit longer
Here's a verse (warning, not the KJV),
. . .but your associating yourself with the enemy so it will only lead you down the wrong path. . .
I don't think Jesus was led to sinning because of his associations.
When the experts in the law and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Brazen and insolent, they are not afraid to insult the glorious ones, yet even angels, who are much more powerful, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.

This is not a single sentence.
"Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.' Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

These are two items in a group of proverbs Paul is reciting for the Corinthians to keep in mind.
There is no direct connection between the two other than they are consecutive items in a list of separate items.
One proverb warns of hanging out with doers of evil.
The next proverb has to do with drunkenness and having your mind working in a specific direction.
So all you could rightfully be doing, when you are applying this proverb about company is to imply that the people you want to be critical of, who do not share your same particular belief, are doing evil things, which you have no evidence of.
That is why I quoted the verse, earlier of slanderous accusations, how people should not engage in that.
So the only evidence of anyone being evil, that I have, is of you. So, I should not associate with you, according to your own quoted proverb.

Wiccan is witchcraft. Maybe you should do some research before defending such religions/beliefs without even knowing what they're about.
Now you are implying that I am going to Hell, too? When did I say I did not believe in the resurrection of Christ? I was telling a story earlier about Protestant doctrines and how there is a hole in it as far as biblical backing for a substitutionary righteousness. That is a part of what some preachers will use in a sermon or put in a book. It seems like a good concept but it is not defensible against close scrutiny.
But after all none of this matters, because if you don't believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ then you are not on the right path to salvation.
That is probably the main point of the article so you can deal with that.

The bible doesn't teach that you need to be baptized to be saved so maybe its a deception, who knows?
I don't know the exact article you read so i don't know what your refereeing to.
It looks to me the person who wrote this was trying to be poetic. In common usage, we take the concept of baptism exactly like the Baptists do. This is just nit-picking to find something to say, "we are right and they are wrong so come to our church and pay tithes to us, not them."
Baptism symbolized dying to self and coming alive in Jesus. We practice full immersion baptism because by being fully buried beneath the water we symbolize that God's grace fully fills us with His new life for the future. Through baptism we are truly born again in Jesus.

This is not an accusation, he made a self admitting statement, and since he did not say much else i went off what little he did say... You see I only deal in facts, i am not interested in lies or half truths.
The simple facts are wiccan is evil and if he wishes to dabble in the occult he becomes evil too.
