In a Cult? Take this Test to See!

This is a short test to see if the "Church/Denomination" you attend is considered a "Cult"?  For the Christian, a cult is ANY false teaching or misrepresentation of The Godhead (The Trinity) and His Word.  This is not an all inclusive test, however, it covers most cults.  Lets take a look.

You are in a cult if:
1.  Your church/denomination denies the Diety of Jesus Christ.  Simply put, you are taught that Jesus is not The One and Only Son of God and is The Creator, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Co-Equal, Co-Eternal and Co-Existant with the Trinity (Second Person of The Trinity).

John 1:1-3 AMP
IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa. 9:6.]  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.


For example: if you are told that Jesus is Lucifer's (satan) Brother or that Jesus is a created being - you are in a cult!?

2.  Your church/denomination denies the Virgin Birth.  Jesus had to be conceived miraculously in order to be a ransom for the sins of ALL mankind!  Only the God-Man (Jesus) could pay the price - no other man was capable.

Luke 1:26-35 NASB
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.  And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."  But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.  The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.  "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.  "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;  and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."  Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?"  The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.


3.  Your church/denomination denies The Trinity.  Although a difficult concept to fully grasp - One God in three Persons, it is fundamental to the Christian Faith.

Since God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all God and Lord Themselves – this means that all Three of Them are totally perfect in Their actual personalities and natures. And if They are totally perfect in Their actual personalities – then this now means They are totally capable of being perfectly one with one another.  Bible-Knowledge.com

1 John 5:7 NKJV
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Revelation 1:8 NIV
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."


The question my friends is: Do you believe what this book The Bible says or not?  Jesus either wasn't what He said He was, but didn't know it - which would make Him crazy or He wasn't what He said he was and knew it - which would make Him a liar or He was whom He said He was and knew it - which would make Him The Christ?








Matthew 16:15 NKJV
He (Jesus) said to them (you to), "But who do you say that I am?"

That's the REAL question?
