for viewing documents in their original format online. This technology
requires a plug-in called the Adobe Acrobat Reader (which interprets

overview

A
cult is "Any organization that primarily rejects the Biblical
person of Jesus Christ as the only Savior, that rejects or
modifies the Biblical person of God, that develops other texts
and calls them Scriptural outside of the only Word of God,
or that uses mind or emotional control to achieve a hidden
agenda from it's converts". There are many cults in America
today, cults that exist only to blur the message of the Gospel.
There are also organizations and traditions that, though not
specifically cultic, offer cultic perspectives and heretical
doctrines that negatively impact Christianity. Jesus was more
descriptive: Matthew 24:23-24 "Then
if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
No, dear friends, we do not hate cults nor those involved
in cultic activity, but we do stand firm on the clearly taught
truths of God's Holy Word. That may not be politically correct,
but Christians were never called to be politically correct.
We are ambassadors of Jesus Christ, preaching salvation by
faith in Him alone.

The
Vatican has rejected the idea that all religions are
equal. In a 36-page theological document, the Roman
Catholic Church took issue with the idea that
non-Christian religions could be equal to Roman Catholicism
or that Protestant churches could be considered "sister
churches". Non-Christians are in a "gravely
deficient situation" regarding salvation, the
document said. The Church reiterated its official
positions, ordering its theologians not to manipulate
what it called the truth of the faith and to counteract
"relativistic theories" of religious pluralism,
according to the document. The document said that
other Christian churches had "defects,"
in part because they did not recognize the primacy
of the pope. It dismissed all post-Reformation churches,
saying those "that have not preserved the valid
Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance
of the eucharistic mystery are not churches in the
proper sense." Other Christian churches "suffer
from defects" but have not been deprived of "significance
and importance in the mystery of salvation,"
it said.
