Default Re: Really CRI? Let's define a "Cult"

...Just found this definition on www.themoorings.org - and felt I ought to post it for consideration:

There are many important differences between a cult and body of Christians. A cult is authoritarian, whereas a Christian church is somewhat egalitarian, for the members view even the pastor as subject to group control and discipline. A cult sees its leaders as the fountainhead of truth, whereas Christians seek guidance from Scripture alone. With few exceptions, cult leaders are immoral and opportunistic, whereas the leaders of the true church are sincere and godly. Sooner or later, every cult repudiates one or more cardinal doctrines of orthodox Christianity.
