Proclamations of Faith |

Regarding Cults: |
A fundamental error of all cults is unity in someone, or something, |
other than Jesus Christ. |
All cults teach that the one way to belong to God is to belong to |
the cult. The Truth states that the one way to belong to God is |
to belong to Jesus Christ. |
Cults focus on believing the right doctrines, and having the |
right secret formula. God says that what is most important is |
that I believe and trust in Jesus Christ. |
Cults are proof that religious flesh is capable of great accomplish- |
ments through unity and harmony. But they are unified in |
something other than Jesus Christ. |
Jesus said He did not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword. |
He was saying that all that is unified in another must be destroyed |
and divided in order that it find true life in Him. |
When a person is not free to come and go from a group, lest |
they incur God's "disfavor," it is a danger signal. Where the |
Spirit of the Lord is, there is always liberty. |
