New churches are sprouting everywhere, everyday – and many are ushering new and strange doctrines contrary to God’s kingdom.
And when we hear the word 'cult', we often think of a group that worships Satan, sacrifices animals, or takes part in evil, bizarre – and even pagan rituals.
Well, not really. In reality, most cults appear much more innocent than the above.
What is a cult?
The specific Christian definition of a cult is: “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.”

| A Cult Teaches People Something And Remain Unsaved |
In simpler definition – a cult is a group that teaches something that will cause a person to remain unsaved if he or she believes it. As distinct from a religion, a cult is a group that claims to be part of the religion, yet denies essential elements of that same religion.
A Christian cult is a group that denies one or more of the fundamental truths of Christianity, while still claiming to be Christian. The two most common teachings of cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone.

A denial of the deity of Christ results in Jesus’ death not being a sufficient payment for our sins including rejection of God’s word – the Holy bible.
Examples of known cults
A denial of salvation by faith alone results in salvation being achieved by our own works – something the Bible vehemently and consistently denies.

| Cult Worshipers Are People Like You And Me |
The two well-known cultic establishments that shape into the definition are the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the deity of Christ and salvation by faith alone.
The two establishments believe many things that are in agreement with or similar to what the Bible teaches. The fact that they deny the deity of Christ and preach a salvation by works qualifies them as a cult.
Many Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons – and other cultic members that you may know are 'good people' who genuinely believe they hold the bible truth.

As Christians, our hope and prayer must be that many people involved in the cults will see through the lies and deceptions – and will be drawn to the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ – alone. - Online Sources
