How to Detect a Cult (4 of 4)
Series: How to Detect a Cult

Acts 17:11
As we continue our study on detecting cults .. we are once again using Acts 17.11 as a guide .. the Berean Guide for detecting the counterfeit from the real thing.

BUT through our web sight.
That was his first contact with our church. And God used what he learned about us on our web sight to help bring him into our fellowship.
All right .. we're thinking about what Mormons believe and how what they believe measures up against the Scriptures.

Belief #4: God is an Exalted Man.
Elohim .. the Hebrew name used for God in the book of Genesis and throughout the Old Testament: is the god of this universe, was previously a man before he was a god. As a result of having kept the requirements of Mormonism, he was exalted to godho ...
