Last week the church attracted media attention when the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal ruled it was allowed to exclude a boy from worship for wearing an earring. Mr Longfield told the Gazette the church strictly followed the Bible and had rules against immoral and other types of behaviour that were contrary to its teachings. He said Revival Centres International did not believe it was the only true church but did believe its teachings were the only true way. He dismissed suggestions the group was a cult or controlled and dominated its members. You are born again and from that time on you walk, carefully and more reasonably.
Every religious group is a cult.
I suppose they say these things because they think we're out of line. Mr Longfield said those who left the group did so because they could not follow the Bible. He denied members were told to ignore them. Some people leave because the group doesn't suit them. It's not that no one can speak to them, they're just not in fellowship any more.
