Why don’t you just say it? You believe Fred is a cultist because he is a member of the Church of Christ.
I don’t know that he’s a cultist. However, I do know that Romney is *definitely* a cult member, as that’s pretty well defined and identified by Christian groups.
You can check it out in Kingdom of the Cults
http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-Walter-Martin/dp/0764228218/
This is a reference book comparing basic, historic and foundational Christian teaching and doctrine to the cult groups (and also showing various Christian groups, too).
I’ll tell you what, whatever you find in that book about that church — I’ll go along with it. I don’t know what it says, so I’m just going on the basis that it’s recognized in the Christian community.
But, what I do know about Thompson, since listening to him about his faith is that he has no idea what the Gospel is, what the “good news” is and therefore, is not able to choose the message of the Gospel, for purposes of being “saved” (hence a “Christian”) — since he cannot choose what he knows nothing about....
That’s what I do know about Thompson... he doesn’t even know enough to be able to be a Christian, in order to choose that for himself...

We are all cultists now!
After all, we're freepers! Is there any greater cult? ;-)
