Negative publicity is directed towards all non-Orthodox Christian denominations. It places the traditional Protestant denominations, such as Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalists, Assemblies of God, Lutherans and Adventists, on the same level with all new non-Christian cults penetrating into the country. I would like to quote only a few lines from articles in some of the newspapers. We should not be blind to the invasion of sects. This article gave a list of groups including Baptists, Lutherans, Congregationalists, Adventists, etc.
Sects are a smoldering bomb in the shadow.
The second cold war against the sects has begun. There is no state policy against the sects. Protestantism turns into a cover for forbidden sects. I could add dozens of such titles. Our difficulty with such articles is that we cannot reply and defend ourselves.
