What’s the Difference

The cults thrive on deception (see Matt 7:15 and 2 Cor 11:13-15). Besides redefining terms, the cults will avoid identifying themselves or identify themselves by their lesser-known names, leave unmarked literature, fail to reveal their sponsorship of a Bible study, etc. (see Martin, The Kingdom of the Cults, 1985, pp. 375-376). ................
