Anything less, and he's just a mole.

Kind of like testing for German spies by asking them to say the word "squirrel" (which would work both ways, we can't say their word for the little fuckers, either).

You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: "I deny the Holy Spirit."

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but he won't forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you're taking here.

Just another manipulative, self-centered bit of self-worshiping game playing by a theist who doesn't understand his/her own claimed belief system.

I think you should read the link.

I will read atheist "sacred texts"

(I trust that if there really is a God that God will not be too flummoxed by my foolish experiment and allow others to suffer as a result).

The guy seems quite genuine and it can't be said that he hasn't thought about what he's been taught and what he actually believes.

There are a lot of people on this forum who started out religious, I'm really surprised that more people don't believe this guy might be similar.
