Mormonism ties complete salvation to their Temple ceremony. Thus, in Mormonism , salvation is linked directly to money. Many New Age groups would also fall into this category of tying salvation, enlightenment or the alleviation of problems to monetary obligation. Through Channeling sessions, encounter weekends or the mandatory purchasing of cassette tapes and books, many groups have convinced people that full release from bad Karma, past life events or present problems cannot be eliminated without the groups help. Many groups will schedule weekend seminars which are touted to provide the answers to those long held questions or to alleviate problems and pain.
Some groups have combined salvation with doing physical labor.
They do this in hopes that their activities and devotion to the organization will help them to escape the coming holocaust of Armageddon. If they do not distribute Watchtower publications, they believe they will be destroyed by God. The Unification Church followers believe that they, too, must do specific works in order to be found worthy of God's favor. This is one reason Moonies are on street corners in large cities throughout America selling flowers or soliciting funds for numerous organizations. One final way that cults will link works to salvation is through obedience to the Old Testament Law.
