I am using the wor4d according to its meaning and according to its usage by the poster to whom I am replying.
The word cult in religion implies a group of people who adhere to new revelation. As such Christianity is a culture of Judaism. Christian cults include Mormons, Christian Science, and Unification Church. Each of these have a book of new revelation they adhere to in addition to the Bible which holds second place to them. Their book(s) override the Bible!! Without this new revelation and adhering to the Bible only makes them Christians with distinctives in minor issues.
Adherence to the Apostles Creed defines who is and is not a Christian!!! That is the reason for the Creed!!!!
