Beware of Cults

Many born again believers have been deceived into joining cults that entrap them so deeply that it is nigh impossible to leave. Many of these cults claim to be christian which makes them hard to identify but if you know what to look for you can spot the warning signs. 

1: The Deity of Christ

Any church that denies the deity of Christ fits the number one definition of a cult. 

2: The Trinity
Any church that denies the existence of the trinity is rejecting the Father and the Son. 

3: Fear Tactics

Many cults deploy outrageous fear tactics like telling their followers that God will send them to hell if they ever leave the group. 

3: Lack of Transparency

Many cults are not transparent concerning their belief systems and will often go through great lengths to keep their doctrines secret from outsiders.

4: Divine Revelation

Some cult leader's may claim a special, revelation or position of authority given by God.

5: Monetary Gain

It is common for cult leaders to scare their members into compulsory tithing and in some extreme cases signing over all their property.

6: The Hive Mind

They adopt a collective mentality and they cannot see themselves as individuals apart from the group.

7: Blood Oaths
Some cults make their members swear oaths of loyalty that involve their very lives and attempts to leave or reveal facts about the group may be met with threats.
