That's the course that used to be about cults and which I've taught several times. But even then I keep mixing it up with THEO 302 - Christian Doctrine 4 -- which I'm teaching this semester. In my mind we should flip 3 and 4 around. And it sounds like in your mind you've made the same leap.Brad Boydstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201335149386731937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624721.post-86459302661225685822013-08-14T05:41:49.086-07:002013-08-14T05:41:49.086-07:00I am very glad you posted this Dave!

After becoming involved with the ministry for awhile several things came to light which raised my hackles and caused me to question their true theology, not just the public persona of the charismatic pastor. Your post and the one you linked to have helped me decipher the 'fine points' which I was struggling with, and I'm sorry to say, have made me realize how 'cultish' the ministry truly is! Thanks for enlightening me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919405017131623723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624721.post-11392300195563991232013-08-14T03:13:51.931-07:002013-08-14T03:13:51.931-07:00David.

Acrually I feel we were delivered from an "ish" sxperience not that long ago.<br />Sometimes these aren't "bad" people. A strong doctrinal inclination, spiritual formation, heresy hunting, or s desire to tise above mediocrity, can all lead to this.<br />Not only must we do what God says, but how He says ro do it.
