To varying degrees all churches are a cult. They may lack some of the reasons given in the video but have enough of them to fit the definition. All cults are led by men or women, humans. The only sure fire way to eliminate any chance of being in a cult is to eliminate all human led churches. God and Christ are not a cult but the real, true and genuine faith. Since the scriptures scream out to us that the Fathers Holy Spirit is the ONLY teacher and Christ the ONLY mediator then why would anyone look to some human ? So, if someone is in any church led by a human, they are in a cult. I find it ironic that churches point their fingers of accusation at each other when they are all guilty.
