What defines a "cult"
AG wrote on another thread that UPCI was a boarderline "cult."
What is your definition of a cult?
I heard a preacher defined the following "red flags" of a cult by the following points.
1. They do not believe in the total efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
2. They have another holy book that they put on equal or greater authority with the Bible.
3. They do not believe in the literal physical return of Jesus Christ.
4. They follow a charismatic leader that has extreme control over their lives (managing their money or marriages, or they accept his word on equal authority with the Bible).
5. They will isolate followers from other family members.
