Marks of Cultism Summary
Because of the prevalence of religious cults which have destroyed thousands, perhaps the identifying characteristics of them should be repeated. All cultic systems will contain one or more of the following;
1. Deceptive Christology
2. Extra-Biblical revelations
3. Translocal totalitarian authority in leadership
4. Babylonian pyramiding control of the followers
5. Semi-secret sessions for teaching followers
6. Exclusiveism or croneyism
7. Semantic juggling or using a text out of context to “prove” false doctrines and concepts
8. Punishment and reward motivation or control of behavior and attitudes through ruthless use of fear
9. Denunciation of others, particularly of those who question or deny the cults and their teachings
10. Separation and isolation of followers from families and friends and the formation of communal living cells to facilitate centralized control and enforce obedience.
The more of these practices which are in evidence, the more cultic and demonic the organization is.
