It is such a funny thing that people say "theology is cute, but..." as if disordered work makes any sense in itself.

If good work was enough, every non-governmental organizations would be essentially christian. Alas, they are not.

Conversion means turning oneself to God.

The only possible way to accomplish that is through abnegation. Saint John the Baptist, teaches us that we must make ourselves smaller so Jesus grows bigger.

Your assumption makes no sense, because cults are not Christian just because they claim to be.

In fact, it is a general occurrence in protestantism as a whole and the sects arisen in America in particular, that they have picked heresies which had already been dismantled by Saint Alphonse-Marie de Liguori in his work "History of heresies and their refutations".
