The best definition is given in the Book Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin. "A cult, as I define it, is any religious group which differs significantly in one or more respects as to belief or practice from those religious groups which are regarded as the normative expressions of religion in our total culture." In most cases a cult mishandles God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity or Salvation by Grace. EdB |

I think the term "cultic" has a much broader meaning. Certainly, EdB, Walter Martin's definition does relate to a very common use of the word "cult", but... "Cult" can also refer to "a system of religious rites or observanves." Thus, Leviticus describes the cultic practice of the Israelites. In this context, there is no sense of occultim etc... it just focuses attention on the practices of corporate worship. JRM. |
