“I would go a bit further and say that if the religion tells you that you will always be a follower of it, whether you like it or not, it is a cult.”
Based on that definition, Christianity is a cult because once you are born-again by an act of the Holy Spirit you are a Christian for eternity.
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
(Philippians 1:6)
Oh??
HEBREWS 6:6
If they shall fall away, to renue them againe vnto repentance: seeing they crucifie to themselues the Sonne of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
The cult of contempt is the most dangerous of all.
