Oh, I responded to that cult kid. We'll see what he writes back... whether it'll be intelligent or whether it'll be irrational "We are not a cult, so there." Here's a sample from my response:
"Keep in mind that any time a theology makes one individual verse (Matthew
28:19) so central in its thinking, it's a sign of a problem. The Bible gives
a consistent witness throughout the Old and New Testaments, and your
practice of "discipling" is not a Biblical one. Not that "being a disciple
of Jesus" isn't a Biblical concept, but the manner and structure in which
your church enforces it is unbiblical."
"P.S. I found the following two sites especially interesting when learning
about the ICC."
http://www.reveal.org/ and
http://www.rightcyberup.org/ <-- has an amazing amount of material
Update... weird, I just got a response back from him, and he didn't mention my comments at all. But he wants to meet again, which is great, since we'll get to talk about this stuff.
