If you have a bus ministry and bring in the unsaved, unruly, non-tithing, snot-nosed kids who tear up the upholstery in your new bus or van and who need Christ as their savior in 2008, then you are a cult.
If you preach that wrong is wrong and right is right and that it is never right to do wrong and never wrong to do right in 2008, then you are a cult.

If you expect your people to give God more than one hour a week...
If you have scores of visitors who do not stay because your music is Godly...
If you preach more than one tough message a month a quarter ...
If you preach from the Word of GOD and not the readers digest you are a cult.
If you love JESUS too much and go to church to often you are a cult.
If you say not everyone is a christian you are a cult.
If you are an Independent Baptist Church you are a cult.
If you don't "fellowship" with the local Ecumenists, you are a cult.
If you call yourself "Fundamental", you are either a cult or a bunch of terrorists.
If you don't let everyone who walks in the door take communion, you are a cult.
