I am not judging mega churches, merely saying that people need to really study what they are trying to do, and what they actually teach. Some are cults, some don't even teach the Bible, some are there for entertainment purposes only, and some are merely blindly following other successful pastors by growing numbers, not winning souls. I never accept teaching until I have fully researched it. The person who earlier said that they "felt like it was a cult" experienced what we refer to as discernment.

Yes! Exactly. Not all "mega churches" are like that, but most seem to be. Even many smaller churches are trying to follow the lead because of the numbers.

The further from the Bible you get, the further from Christ you get and the more in trouble you get.
