so one is in a cult when they believe that the Word of God is totally relevant for today as it was 2000 years ago? The 70 went out preaching and casting out devils. The Bible tells us to take authority over the enemy that enemy is several layers thick if you believe Galatians. Taking authority over your house your city and your state and country is not voodoo as one has proposed it to be. All of folks who poo poo this stuff had better pray for more discernment for the hour of His return is at hand and the bible says we should be ready.

Nonsense! Quix is talking about a Christian being able to discern the presence of demonic spirits. That is certainly a type of Spiritual gift. See I Corinthians 12:4-10

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
