Cult Defined
What is a cult? What do its members believe? The word 'cult' is defined as 'religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious.' In Webster's eyes, a cult is an organization opposing orthodoxy. When Christian speaks of cults, they mean groups which do not hold to 'Biblical Christian views.' Therefore, the label, 'cult,' is a semantic way of recognizing the difference between biblical Christianity and the believes that certain groups might hold.


Why Cults Grow So Fast
If cults teach error and heresy, why do many of them grow so fast?
1) A major reason is that cults offer answers to questions that aren't answers in the Christian church
2) Being in a cult is hard work. People feel that when they work hard, they accomplished something for God. Cults give a false sense of spiritual security.
3) Some cults are odd and even bizarre. They aren't boring but exciting. There's something different that is always going on and people are allured to that even if it is not consistent with the Bible.
