Peace:
There are, no doubt, whole denominations taken over by dovtrines of devils. There are are also denominations and whole movements, which, by the prevenient grace of God, are nont. I have been in one for over thirty years; the Vineyard movement, and it is nothing like what either Berg or you describe about "all of the churches". Sorry if you are disillusioned. Berg had another agenda, of course. Neiether point of view is true, and there are far more non-"baby" Christians than you could imagine at this timet in your life; I assure you--don't lose hope as a reflection of your own cult experience--I am glad that I did not, and it was hard, and very discouraging at times.
There' i s also a huge spiritual war gonig on, and the other major attack in the late 1800s was Darwin's "Origin of Species"--eqaully evil to the OTHER major "doctirne of devils" attack.
"Our redemption draweth nigh"--false Christs are a sign of the end time--not COMPLETELY discouraging--at least they're not supposed to be.
I like what you said below:
"verbalizing an answer to spiritual babies (church goers), a simplistic answer of "it is satanic" doesn't do anything to educate. The basic difference between Christianity and Hinduism is the center of the spiritual force one receives. God gives strength to Christians but followers of those strange doctrines and gods receive it from yielding themselves to the idea that they, as individuals, can have the power of God. This is obviously Satanic but as mature Christians we should not only appeal to the emotions of the spiritual baby. Besides emotional, the whole person is rational, physical and spiritual. Keeping then on a diet of spiritual milk is to keep them dependent on the particular group. "
Bye fo now!
OT2
We are a combination of the four components, and Christianity should address all to instruct everybody. All that believe in the Son of God have everlasting life
