I grew up and around one of the largest 'Fundamental Baptist' chruches in the country (Hint: it was in Indiana).
I considered them a 'quasi-cult' because they worshiped the Man and the Numbers more then the Lord. I know that is my opinion, but I was very close to the interworkings of the church and have too many stories.
Yes serving God is not 'cultish'. But, the manner in which it is claimed to be done comes very close.
While I still lean toward the general 'Baptist' theology, I do not attend a Baptist church. I attend a 'Bible' church that is about the same congregation size and where I grew up. They have a greater passion to the development of believers and serving the community then any 'fundamental Baptist' group that I have known.
In short, the 'Fundamental Baptist' scare me more that any David Koresh (sp?) or Jim Jones!
