InIn today's religiously
diverse and relativistic culture, labeling a group a
cult may seem extreme to many people, not to mention
rude. Even people who believe in absolute Truth and
further believe that Jesus is the only way to
eternal life can get confused about just what
constitutes real Christianity. Just why are Baptists
properly considered Christians, but Mormons are not?
Or why is the Jehovah's Witness religion classified
as an anti-Christian cult while Presbyterians or
Wesleyans or Pentecostals are simply seen as
denominations within the Christian faith? With the
explosion of different sects that claim to honor and
follow Jesus, how does one differentiate between
true Biblical Christianity and an aberrant religious
movement?
Just what are "the marks of a cult?"
