Maybe thru scripture you can show her your concerns but yes you have to for her soul's sake, but what is a cult is it someone who disagrees with your beliefs. It's a hard thing to convince someone what they truly believe is wrong. I'd pray and fast 1st and seek God and then others for help. Remember Jesus said if you remove the tears some of the wheat will be removed as well, Paul said no matter why they Pearch Christ crucified Christ is preached whether it be of ill will or of good will. I'd study and get prepared 1st. Let me add all Churches teach differently but if Jesus is taught according to Paul's Gospel of peace and good will towards men then differences in doctrine doesn't mean it's a cult persey.
you have received many good answers. Just mention to you that the people we all meet in the world. On one day, They are ours? For the responsibility lies with the one who sees, in this case it is your responsibility. I say this in peace.
I think this is a good opportunity to and forth lift up the Lord Jesus. Just "jump" in you dear Sandra and know that the King of Kings is with you. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ be blessed with words from:
John 21. 1After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. Amen
Pray before you do it. She may not receive it well at the moment but it will linger in her spirit Until she gets it. Definitely tell her. But have some Bible to back it up.
Is a believer should inform her friend that you have concerns about some of the teachings of her church and be prepared to give specific Scriptural statements of what is true teachings that correct the specific false teachings you are aware of. This is loving to do.
Your friend may be hostile, but if you are calm and sincere she may be willing to listen further. If you believe that the cult is endangering her in an immediate way, speaking with more urgency is needed.
Yet any false belief is harmful to any believer. So, it is important to assure your friend if your love for her and not withdraw your friendship. Instead, continue to speak about this as opportunity arises. It helps to talk about what you agree on as well as what teachings you can show are not aligned with Scriptural beliefs. Surround this relationship with prayer and be prepared to speak about it.
