Presumably you, like most, would exclude some of these groups from the name "Christian." So what is the objective measure you use to draw the line? You claim there is no line, but I suspect you have one, though you might draw it in a different place than the author of the article above.

The measure is Christ. What do they say about Him and what do they say He did about Sin? If they say He is not unique and not God can I say they are a Christian Denomination? No. If they say there is no such thing as Sin? Heaven's no.

Without those, they would be a Cult. But who would I be to say that none of the elect of God within them would not go to Heaven? Do I recommend them No. Do I say there will not be trouble, No. But who would I be to deny God?

Thanks. That’s two criteria you use to draw your line.

I have no dog in this fight. Draw your line wherever you choose. I just get a little bit stressed by those who claim they don’t have a line when they do.

But please note that Christ did not say, “Wherever two or three gather together in my name as long as they agree with sr4402 as to my divinity and the nature of sin.”
