Ultimately all religions are cults. It all boils down to somebody told me something extraordinary happened, I believe it, that settles it.

However Christianity is based on the TRUTHFUL testimony of the original disciples of Jesus. They either died (most were tortured to death)for what they ACTUALLY witnessed, or it was all an elaborate conspiracy and lies....

In truth, it is cultic and unbiblical NOT to belong to some Church body, as the New Testament commands that we are to be meeting, studying the Apostles' teachings (the Bible) and worshiping together as a body.

THAT is much more important a priority than as to what day we gather...

let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:21-25)

That may be in an "independent" Church (which sometimes tends to be a "denomination" of its own) or a Church body in fellowship with other like-minded Church bodies (a denomination).

Still, individualistic-read-your-bible-and-make-up-your-own-interpretation is not really encouraged, or even allowed for biblical followers of Jesus
