False accusations and confessions

The motives of characters who confess to witchcraft have very little to do with saving their souls and much more to do with saving their earthly lives. They are not "coming to God" in spiritual repentance and hopes of salvation; they simply want to get out of prison and not be hanged. Thus the idea of "coming to God" might be better called "saving their own skins".
It is also important to note that those who are "coming to God" and confessing to the sin of witchcraft have not actually been practicing witchcraft. Not only are they being selfish in "saving their own skins" rather than standing up for the truth, they are lying, not only to themselves, but to the whole community.
Additionally, by lying and "admitting" that they were practicing witchcraft, they are not "coming to God" at all, but rather coming to a theocratic government that claims to work in the name of God, but really themselves seem to have forgotten what their faith asks them to do. The kindness, compassion, and forgiveness so important to their faith seems to have been totally wiped from their minds when considering the manner in which they treat the townspeople. By asking these people to "come to God", they are really steering them towards damnation in that they must lie (which is a sin) in order to give what they are asked to give, and in order to save their lives.
In Act I, he was the one who urged Tituba to confess to witchcraft. At that point in the play, he thought he really was bring them to God. Throughout the play he saw Abigail's lies and her motives for accusing Elizabeth. By the end of the play he had made a complete turn around was urging people to lie to save themselves. He was urging them to sin to save themselves from being hanged.

related to the theme of lies and Deceits :
Most of the characters in The Crucible are lying – if not to other people, then to themselves. Abigail lies about her ability to see spirits, as do the other girls; Proctor is deceitful first for cheating on his wife and then for hiding it; and the judge and lieutenant governor and ministers lie to themselves and everybody else in saying that they serve the cause of God’s justice. The twist in the story is that by telling the truth (“I am not a witch”), you die, but you also gain your freedom – that is, you retain your standing with God, and you become a martyr.
