7. Blowing on people then they fall down.
8. Advanced revelation from God.
9. The final authority may not be the Bible.
10 Emotion based services and experiences.
I am not saying the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement is a cult but it is looking more and more like a cult everyday.
What do you guys think? Is it a cult?

Loss of salvation- Yes through sinning and not repenting!
Keeping salvation via good works - No! through helper and comforter, the Holy Spirit of God. we exercise our faith, under grace of God. Works are the fruits and not source neither what keep us.Grace of God teaches us to shun and run away from evil. So we exercise our faith to manifest what already have been done by the Lord in us. Just we need to be obedient to God's word and His Holy Spirit!
Authority beyond the Bible, words of knowledge and all of that crap. No! No Authority beyond the Bible. Bible authority is Final. God respect His word and Have Magnified Him Above all things. Holy Spirit tells us what Jesus Hears from the father, and does not contradict with Jesus' word! That means All gifts operate in Line NOT in contrary to the God's word. This Includes Gift of word of Knowledge!!! Hope it Helps
I will post scripture later! Now I have something else to do!
Your fellow servant,
Ev. Steve
