I John 2:22-23
I John 2:22: “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”
These verses are all that you need to undo the lies of a great many cults. Cults invariably deny a part of the truth surrounding Jesus Christ, and in doing so they prove themselves to be tools of Satan. If you deny that Jesus is God, that He became a man, or that He was the Messiah, then you are not saved and your religion is a lie. If you deny that Jesus is God then you are not saved. If you reject Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah then you are not saved. If you deny that Jesus came in the flesh then you are not saved either.
Cult after cult opposes some part of Jesus’ work or ministry. Some say that He was not God; others that He never really became a man; others that He never died; others that He was not resurrected. All of these heresies are fatal and are, quite literally, damnable lies. If you deny the Son then you are lost; if you accept the Son, bow down to Him, and plead for His forgiveness and mercy then you are saved. It really is as simple as that.
