The devil never stops his lies and deception in his efforts to undermine the gospel of Christ, destroy the Church, and steal the souls of people. Today, we're just witnessing another round of that behavior. Christians should neither believe or support the devil's social movements. We're in the world but not of the world.As even among we Baptists seems to be a big push now to get woked up and Critical race theology, are we now moving into redefining the Gospel message then?
I was rebuked in a chat for daring to calling out Mormons as being a cult, as they do not like to be called that label anymore! This was a Christian group so called!The devil never stops his lies and deception in his efforts to undermine the gospel of Christ, destroy the Church, and steal the souls of people.

The term "cult" isn't a bad word:
So, being called a "cult" isn't a bad thing necessarily, even though in our pluralistic, subjective culture, which routinely takes terms and applies a meaning to them of whatever stripe they so desire, all Christians could fall under the definition of a cult.
- a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
- an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: The physical fitness cult.
- the object of such devotion.
- a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

Caution: STAFF EDIT XXXXX .....need to be told the true Jesus and Gospel, for the One of..... EDIT XXXXX (Rule 3.1) came from satan!YeshuaFan;
Yes, the chat you are referring to leans toward another social hypocritical opinion called COEXIST (the rainbow bumper sticker) to put up with the doctrines of cults and false religions. They may not like that label because the Truth hurts. When Jesus or we are reviled for being a Christian, we don't cry, "we don't like that label."
1 Peter 2:23, 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
I am using the term cult as those like a Walter martin did, as a church or a group using the scriptures but teaching another jesus and another Gospel!Hello MM;
Yes, I'll agree with you that the term cult is not a bad word. When we look at it from the point YeshuaFan was making, he shared that this particular religion is a cult, which it is, but he didn't say to them that this a bad word. Therefore, they should not have pushed back stating they didn't like the label.
Now, Yeshuafan, if you were implying that this particular religion as a cult is a bad word, I can't speak for you, brother.
I will say I have been told that Christians, or all Christians are cultic, many times. Say what you will.
Again, when Jesus or we are reviled for being a Christian cult, we don't cry, "we don't like that label." Instead,
1 Peter 2:23, 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
God bless you, Darrel, and your family.
Cult in the Christian use of the term is to make out as being anti biblcal and antichrist!The term "cult" isn't a bad word:

I sense today if you asked 5 Evangelicals today, "What is the Gospel?" You'll most likely get 5 different answers. It is a pity, but a reality in this highly subjective world. And at least three of the answers will start out like,"Well, I feel the Gospel is..."As even among we Baptists seems to be a big push now to get woked up and Critical race theology, are we now moving into redefining the Gospel message then?
that is the truth romans 12:1-2The devil never stops his lies and deception in his efforts to undermine the gospel of Christ, destroy the Church, and steal the souls of people. Today, we're just witnessing another round of that behavior. Christians should neither believe or support the devil's social movements. We're in the world but not of the world.
agreed but are we moving forward or backwards . the early Church started with out nothing but a group of people gathering in one place one accord. in the next few chapters we find great power & great Grace was upon them Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.I sense today if you asked 5 Evangelicals today, "What is the Gospel?"

What was their part...?agreed but are we moving forward or backwards . the early Church started with out nothing but a group of people gathering in one place one accord. in the next few chapters we find great power & great Grace was upon them Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
but they had to do there part
the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.What was their part...?
In any case I try not to paint an idyllic picture of the Early Church, looking at the Corinthian Church, they had plenty of divisions, selfishness, spiritual pride, fornication, lawsuits against each other,drunkenness and gluttony at the Lord's Supper, etc. etc.
what is Baptist theology ?in baptist theologica
not much has changed since then has it..? God created something Man added to itthe Corinthian Church, they had plenty of divisions, selfishness, spiritual pride, fornication, lawsuits against each other,drunkenness and gluttony at the Lord's Supper, etc. etc.
