Agreed...and I really liked your comment here:
“They cannot see truth and ‘need camaraderie to feel good about themselves’..... Those of us who are secure in Christ would still be secure without a group to support.”
That is remarkably true in all cult followings...without ‘the group’ they will indeed fall away from their beliefs. Yet with Christians this is not the case, and why they can visit other denominations and fellowship with Christians at churches other than their home church.
Yep! When we are secure in Christ we will be secure without feeling threatened while having a love for leading others to the truth and freedom in Christ we enjoy. Those without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will never experience nor understand that peace.
