I'm here to spin the moral compass.
Now, let me start that I am a member of a Baptist church, but grew up in a Methodist church. So, when I get the opportunity to get into a Bible study that digs into what we believe and why, I LOVE it. Over the summer, our church had a Bible study on just that. They talked in depth about the differences in being Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, etc. It was emphasized in this class that each of these religions are different, but all of them believe in Christ and that we were simply learning about what our church believes and why.
So, with that being said, is being a Baptist a cult?
I ask this because I learned that the dispensationalism theory wasn't adopted until the 1900s and now it is widely accepted, especially in the SBC. Methodists, Presbyterians, et al. don't teach dispensationalism because they believe in predestination. Now, this is a completely different methodology from other Christian churches so it leads to me wonder if it's like Mormonism, could it be considered a cult?
Just a question I'm throwing out for a civil discussion. If this is something that is going to get your panties twisted, please walk away now or risk being called "cray cray." ;D
