Cult, is an organisation that believes on a specific agenda or topic guided by someone they believe will lead them to achieving what they believe they will get.
Below are four things that will alert you that you are in a religious cult:
1. Mockery done at It’s level best:
This entails criticisizing the people in other churches and other ministries that are preaching the Gospel so that only one church remains in their head, which is the one they are in in some way this is manipulation you are made to believe that there ain’t any other church than the one you are in. As if that is not enough the other churches are called out as fake and the moment people register that you can’t convince them otherwise.
If you are one in one of this churches consider making a wise desicion.
2. Dictatorship:
In the sense that the spiritual leader is valued and worshipped as a god, nobody will question their teachings and even bother to ask something in relation to what they are preaching. Whatever the pastor or leader says goes without question and he is even given standing ovations on a number of occasions.
Some leaders recruit their members through extreme teaching of the doctrine of honour.
3. Myths and Misconception about Spiritual Encounters:
Other leaders will claims that they have been in touch with god and he has revealed a prophecy to them about something.
They also teach something that cannot be proved in the bible. Always work with rule of If it’s not written then it’s not from God.
4. Instill Fear:
This is a common practice by cultic religions they like emphasizing their teachings mostly about end times so that they may use that moment to bring in their false spiritual encounters so that they can convince a large mass.
They also tell their believers that there has been a special place that has been prepared for them and they will stop at nothing to ensure that they go there even if it means fasting for days.
