Oneness is NOT a cult!

Now I DO consider many individual church's to be VERY cultish based on the authority that the high exalted mystic ruler-of-them-all has assumed for himself and the sheep-like way his followers follow.

Does anyone in a cult know they're in a cult?

Many of the churches have cultish aspects and controlling ways. Many will not rise to the level of a full blown cult, I am not speaking specific to Oneness churches. The spiritual aspects of the Jim Jones cult started with the congregation separating from the world and looking to find a deeper relationship in Christ. If the pastor starts to walk that fine line then their needs to be strong saints to stand up and protect the congregation. A blind trust for the sake of following a pastor is not always a good thing...
