Vanity and Taking the Mark

Acts 6+7 Stephen's trial and execution, mixed anger and Love in the reader. Bible says we take the childish spoilt brat 'Mark' or we refuse and die. I will never Deny Christ but would it be allowed to really blast my killers with a proper verbal hammering London style as the ghouls attempt to kill me? I'll talk to them in Tongues alright. Or is that just the same old Vanity that Ecclesiastes warns against? I'd like to depart Cool and Christly like Stephen, I would, but shouldn't we be Spreading the Gospel till the very last, regardless of how tenuous and/or unorthodox? God made London and everywhere else, He might prefer the ghouls to face our last earthly SpoilerAlert as to His Plans? And I bet other death row Christians will feel the same way? Vanity perhaps, but perhaps not? Thoughts please?
