In these latter years of the twentieth century, the search for spiritual things will increase as the world grows progressively less stable. We owe the cultists our love. We owe them our attention, and not our disdain. We owe them the integrated, balanced walk of the mature Christian, who doesn't have a distaste for honest dialogue and prayerful preparation. And we owe them the truth in an outstretched hand, not in a clenched fist.
Cults usually claim the Bible as authoritative.
However, they always give equal or greater authority to another book or another person's revelations. The Bible teaches that it alone is the only verbally inspired and infallible revelation. Cults make salvation to some degree dependent on the works of man. Therefore, man cannot contribute anything to his salvation. C. Devaluation of Christ Cults do not make Jesus equal with the Father and Holy Spirit.
