He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
- Mark 16:15-18
I have frequently been accused of being in a cult and doing evil because of my perspective on the supernatural as a part of the normal Christian walk. Here are legal chacteristics of being a believer...
We believe and are baptized into salvation. Simply put, these are the signs which will follow those who believe:
1 - Casting out demons
2 - Speaking in tongues
3 - Healing the sick
There are Christians who don't do these. I am not going to claim they aren't true believers, and I'm not going to say they can't do great things for God. God cares more about souls than anything, but the kingdom is not made up of just souls.
I will say that those who condemn God's people for doing these things are in danger of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. This is far more dangerous than getting sucked into a cult.
