What are some other signs of cult practices that need to be exposed? Let us know in the comment section.

One cult tactic I've learned from an online ministry is when a pastor sends in a resume either not clearly stating what they believe or doctrines to affirm or just lie about what they believe in or what doctrines they affirm so they can win the position of pastor of that church, then they'll cultivate the congregations trust and loyalty over a number of years while subverting what the congregation believes in by slowly cramming their own theology in the scriptures and doing doctrinal gymnastics. One example is Calvinists infiltrating Baptist churches and deceiving the congregation into affirming Calvinist doctrines and rejecting Baptist doctrines over a span of years.

Being felt like the black sheep for missing any services, not able to visit other churches or go to other gatherings without permission, always having to ask permission to do anything, feeling like we’re not worthy enough unless we sacrifice long hours and are going above and beyond for the ministry. Not prioritizing our kids or family time but ministry always has to be first. The logo is if we take care of the ministry, God will take care of our homes, please tell me is that biblical? Constant rebuke or called rebellious if we question authority. A lot of false prophesy and promises that do not always come to pass, feeling like this particular church is the only good church and the rest are deceived, preparing for a harvest that isn’t coming because no one does any type of outreaching or giving back to the community so we have an expectation that is not real because we have not labored in any way in the streets or took care of the widows or feed homeless. Jesus is talked about but his grace is not sufficient, unless we live by the law and not the focus, mountain mandates and bringing heaven down and doctrines that don’t make sense, No salvation calls, consisting calling out other ministries, when corrupt leaders are in authority and we bring up our concerns, nothing is done, control and constant manipulation. I think what breaks my heart the most is all the children who are involved with their parents spending hours and hours in this cult never get to see anything outside of a church wall, just ministry and that’s it.

They give spiritual guidance alright! However, it is not truth! God says He didn't send these Pastors. These "pastors" prophesy false dreams like the pretribulation rapture of the "church" calling this heresy (doctrine of demons) "the Blessed Hope" THE BLESSED HOPE is Jer 31:15-17 [Jer 23:32 NKJV] 32 "Behold, I [am] against those who prophesy false dreams," says the LORD, "and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all," says the LORD.

Confusing people: making people to think that Serving the building of the church is what God wants. But God wants believers to serve the whole body of Christ and as well as to share the gospel not just on Sunday’s inside a building but to take the church to the outside world. That is actually doing God’s will.

@@DoodleBobSaysNo church is just a building. There’s nothing wrong with them bc that’s where we gather as believers to worship God. But some don’t teach the truth and they teach that by good church attendance you’ll be saved. Or by serving in a church you’ll be saved. We aren’t saved by works but by Gods grace in Jesus and nothing more. Always Remember we are the church because God spirit is now in us. We take the church wherever we go. For where 2 or 3 are gather in Jesus name there His presence is with Us. “Mathew 18:20” My home is my church. You grow more spiritually when you are alone in God’s presence. My Family is my church. I always talk about God to them. My Job is my church. I help those around me who need help and show Jesus to them. The church building I go to when I can. Is also my church and second family and I go there more for fellowship and to worship God. Hope that helps.

I was attending a church for 8 months and I spoke to someone in the church about becoming a member. They sat me down with the pastor, who told me that I had to sign an application and I needed references from my previous pastors I used to attend. Then, I would have to be interviewed by the leader of the woman's group to see if I was qualified to be a member of the church. I also requested to have a prayer group in my home. The person in charge of that told me they had other people more important than me that needed the home prayer group. Never again had I stepped in that church again nor recommended anyone to go there. They were a joke, rude and disrespectful, not humbled at all.

I just left the church where I was born again, not out of church hurt, but for they were cult-like. I was an infant in the Spirit, but I felt there was something wrong, but I remained there. I had a sense that the Pastor, and leadership were crossing certain boundaries, but I overlooked it because I didn't wanted to seem rebelious. The moment I was told by a "mentor" that I have to change careers because I was going to get lost in it, I bolted out of there; I work in TV/Film production by the way. The whole experience was sad and unfortunate. However, that didn't deter me from continuing my walk with the Lord. That made me seek Him more with a new refreshed intensity, but I still have no church to go to.

I also was part of a church with 90% of the red flags shared in this video. When I started seeing these red flags, I had doubts about continuing to be a member of the church. One day, the Pastor when preaching his sermon, told a story of a member who left the church, and is now suffering, and how he is begging on the street, and has been afflicted by diseases. And his summary of the story of the story was that members should never think of leaving his Church, because that’s where God wants them to be planted. That’s the point I knew I had to leave the church.

The pastor always had money for vacations but the saints never did and yes we had to get permission If we had the money to go. This "pastor" told me a very hurtful lie that changed my entire walk with Jesus. But the straw that broke the camels back was when we were pastoring in a new state and a couple that were close friends with us came to visit for a couple of days. They had always been financially good shape and while there visiting they gave us a nice love offering $500. It was indeed a huge blessing to our family. Enough said, or at least that's what I thought. We found out later when they got back home and told their pastor, our previous pastor, about the gift he went through the roof. They left and said we now know what he is all about!! I have always scrolled past anything with the word "cult" in it, but this one was a real eye opener. Thanks!!

Well honestly the best way to find out if it's a cult is what the church worships. Money or God? And also the way the leaders eyes look. Eyes are the window of the soul. I can literally tell if someone is off by seeing the eyes. And also how you feel after church. Good or confused? If it's confused it's cause your subconscious is adding up things.

So interesting…#6!! I remember as a child, my father had to ask the board of elders if he could get a vasectomy…there were 8 kids in our family (mom had 11 pregnancies) and dad worked in a factory, not making much. He had trouble just making it for our big family! Then the elders came to our house to say mom and dad weren’t giving enough to the church (several elders worked in same factory and knew salaries), dad asked what was more important, Christian education or more for church? They said church, so we were pulled out of church school to public schools, then were looked down on at church!

I LOVE THE CHURCH AND JESUS CHRIST!! I was raised Catholic my whole life until I was 16 and my papa(who was my best friend and he was catholic) randomly had a heart attack on a business trip. So I blamed God because he love the church so much and was very active in the church so I left the church completely. When I was 23 I was invited to a protagonist church and when I wen I ended up at the altar sobbing. I got very sick and ended up going into cardiac arrest 9 times in 32 hours and I was without oxygen for 14 minutes. I had a 1% chance of coming back. I woke up 3 weeks later. I have brain damage so I was in rehab for 5 weeks. I was the first person to survive that. My case number is in the cardiac journal of medicine I ended up not being able to go to church for a while and by the time I came back it started to become less and less. And then Covid hit and I ended it all together. 5 weeks ago I was working out and I heard the song “Praise You Anywhere and I dropped on my knees and started crying and praying for forgiveness and I was at church 2 days later and I will never leave again!! JESUS IS LORD!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this. The church I have been attending for 1 1/2 yrs now has been "lacking" in certain areas. Most notable of which is the departure from the preaching of CHRIST and him crucified and more of the power and glory and the"year of breakout" and "opening businesses" and such. I find this video and confirm that this church checks Every. Single. Box. As a result, I got my running shoes on. Bro. Hernandez, you've been an inspiration to me of the last 4 months and I pray that CHRIST continue to use you in great ways, through the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT, for the honor and glory of GOD, THE FATHER.

I asked my current church if they would be open to hosting a revival as an alternative to people who don't want to celebrate Halloween and they said, "They would not be interested because they are big advocates for families enjoying their traditions, and encourage them to observe Halloween with their families" Their words exactly.. My thoughts....What about the ones who don't want to celebrate such a holiday, and want a healthy alternative that helps them feel even closer to GOD? Something like this could save some unbelievers just because they walked by the door and felt compelled to walk in the church like what happened to me years ago when I felt the Holy Spirit in a bigger way than I ever had.

This is an accurate description of a church I was a member of 10 years ago. The *Body of Christ* needs discernment between when this really happens and someone gossipping of church because it is *incredibly difficult* to get out of a church like this. We were told "we don't need to speak to our father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle" and being disassociated from our friends especially after leaving the church. Many need healing that other pastors, prophets don't give because they can't recognize the *cry for help* after losing an entire support system if you do leave the church. Members who *honor* the pastor are overworked at the expense of their own personal walk with God and are not allowed to bring up scriptures contrasting the pastor preaches, and Christian books and personal decisions are guided by the pastor. God showed me many years this was *sin* called *idolatry* and Holy Spirit was grieved. May God *heal, restore* according to HIS will in Jesus' Name!

The pain of It about ruined our family and broke up the church. I still have the letter and card he gave me. My husband keeps it in his files. When reported to their corporate they slapped him on the hand and continued to let him preach. My guess is I wasn’t his only victim. I am thankful I knew God and it was a lie from the pit of hell. I gave the letter to my husband who confronted him. Obviously we left the church but it caused trauma still unresolved to this day 15 yrs later. Hard to trust.

Decades ago, I was at a leaders meeting where a pastor friend of us all was giving a sermon. He warned about the dangers of a fellowship becoming cultic not a cult. My wife and I witnessed that church becoming more cultic by the month. We left when the lead pastor declared he had the mantle of an apostle. The church went from a collegiate model to a one man, top down led church. He appointed his two sons leadership positions later at £60k per year salary.

I was in a cult in the 80's and everything you said hit perfectly. We were also told how to dress. Women were required to wear dresses and not cut their hair. Women were also to be in submission to men whether it was their husband or not. Of course, a wife had to be in complete submission to her husband no matter what. I once heard a pastor say that an abused woman should stay with her husband in case she might help get him saved. It was all about mind control, and it took multiple years for God to ultimately heal me from the affects.

@snowyowlz5992 11 ай бұрын

aprilmiller6767 as a husband I concur with you my wife came from an associate pastor’s family of a large independent charismatic church, this particular “associate pastor and wife” was more out of the Church of Thyatira “including the prophetess Jezebel” who made their daughter, my wife, to be the lifelong family scapegoat of this occultic, narcissistic, and there are not enough disgusting words in the dictionary who tore her apart. My wife loved the Lord dearly all the days of her life. Godly lady, wife, and mother who went through he11. It was very confusing for me as her husband in dealing with this, who is right or wrong and as to when what took place, yeah I made grievous mistakes (whatever definition you want) in all this. Even after the Restraining Order against mother and grandmother, family kept intruding, stalking, breaking and entering, along with other forms of trauma until the day they each DIED OFF. We remained married 43 years until she passed on from the medical complications from all that trauma. She is now safe with Christ along with her Aunt. All the others are getting their “eternal rewards” downstairs.
