Let's revoew your particular cult's history - it was founded by dude in the 60s, it has had at least one split in the past decade, and that or the original split which formed your group was due to embezzlement of funds or accusing the other group of "satanic gospel" or both.

Further, it will have strange rules about drinking wine, claiming perhaps that Jesus did not drink it, or that it is impure. It will also deny a lot of the Old Testament and it's readings each Sunday will be exclusively focused on Pauline Epistles with no readings from the Gospels or other Epistles.

Finally, your cult's leader will have on Sunday "meetings", a shout-and-shout session at which he will shout random readings from the bible at you and everyone will turn to the pages in question, read it and have no time to digest it, but will still get this puffed-up feeling that they have actually read the bible

And, in addition, your group will say such weird things as
1. Da ya go displaying your ignorance over the biblical use of the word “wine.” No, Jesus never drank strong drink and He didn’t create 150 gallons of rotten juice to throw a drunken party. Jesus Christ never created "http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2634145/postsanything tainted, and fermented juice is tainted. What He created was good and pure — not purtrid and corrupt! It’s down right blasphemous to suggest such a thing.

2. anyone reading any version besides the KJV is reading heresy.

3. Anyone dancing with a partner other than their spouse is intrinsically evil

4. Belief in "soul sleep" for the saved (i.e., no conscious existence from the time of death until the resurrection), and annihilation for the wicked (i.e., the body and soul are destroyed at death rather than experiencing everlasting torment).

5. Belief that "Christ took upon His sinless nature our sinful nature ... Christ took human nature and bore the infirmities and degeneracy of the race. He took our nature and its deteriorating condition"
