[QUOTE="d taylor, post: 77565809, member: 413895"] [CENTER]-[/CENTER] Author of this article was a member of a works based cult, below is a small copy of part of the article, here is the link to the full article: [URL="https://faithalone.org/blog/how-do-you-define-a-works-salvation-cult/"]How Do You Define a Works-Salvation Cult? – Grace Evangelical Society[/URL] and a link to another article on worked based cults [URL="https://faithalone.org/blog/beware-of-cults/"]Beware of Cults – Grace Evangelical Society[/URL] Maybe these two articles will help you escape. By Bob Wilkin [I]Grace Evangelical Society[/I] Cults are groups that have the following characteristics: [LIST=1] [*]They reject one or more of the fundamentals of the faith [B](esp. justification by faith alone).[/B] [*]One person or group leads with absolute control. [*]They have other Scripture in addition to the Bible. [*]They often promote special revelations that the leader has received. [*]Special doctrines and practices not found in Scripture are promoted. [*]Members accept anything the leader(s) say without question. Independent thinking is a cause for expulsion. [*]Most cults say that they are the only true church. [*]Members fear being kicked out of the group. [/LIST] How does that match up with your list? I was in a cult from ages six to twenty. It had all the above characteristics except that it had no Scripture other than the Bible. It promoted an extreme form of works salvation. You could only be saved between ages five and twenty on one or two special days God had predetermined for you. If you missed your window of opportunity, you were unsavable. If you sinned even once after being saved, you lost your salvation and could never get it back. [/QUOTE]
