We don't have to believe some strange tale, just the simple Good News of the Bible. 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. Therefore, man cannot contribute anything to his salvation. Every Christian group exalts Jesus Christ as the God-man Savior.
Cults generally believe their group is the fulfillment of prophecy concerning end times.
The chief evil spirit, a supernatural being subordinate to, and the foe of, God, and the tempter of human beings is Satan. His destruction is being carried out in the lives of millions, not only through the many cults, but today, there are almost two hundred occultic rock groups serving Satan and mocking the Cross. These groups have increased fourfold since the '80s, due to the demand of the youth. We are seeing the largest Satanic cult movement in the history of mankind rise up right before our eyes. The search for spiritual things is increasing as the world grows progressively less stable.
