If the "rules" or "traditions" are taught like the Bible or placed on the same plane as the Bible, isn't that cultish?
The Mormons have the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Doctrine and the Covenants.
The Christian Science folks have Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
The JW's have their Watchtower books and literature.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith has the tapes of Bishop Johnson.
The Branhamites have their tapes and books
The UPC has the Manual, the Position Papers and the local church rules and standards
The RCC has "holy tradition" and the decrees of church councils
If these supersede the Bible, contradict the Bible, or are placed on the same level as the Bible,
something is not right.
