Okay, let's see. I don't believe paying lip service to Jesus Christ buys any kind of salvation. You have to shun evils as sins (those enumerated in the Ten Commandments) and live a good life. Those are the essentials of faith. Faith leading to salvation is believing in the Lord.
I'm being very specific of what the definition of 'faith' is. I hope you appreciate the distinction and it runs counter to your so called definition of a cult.
So, proclaiming faith in Christ is "lip service?"
Says who? You?
Paul disagrees with you.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9
By the way, what exactly is a "Second Advent Christian?" I found a link to that on your homepage.
By the way, living a moral life and obeying God are evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit - but they don't save you.
Salvation is from Christ alone. To believe that "living a good life" gains you salvation is to believe that God "owes you" something. He doesn't owe you, or me, anything.
