Sorry to intrude on this thread, as I realize the conversation is directed
towards other parties.  However, I would like to give some input to your
question.

I've seen a number of websites that act as if they are "Cult watch dogs".
By their any "religion" that holds in high regard (worship etc.), a "man"
is automatically labeled as an Occult.  And since Pentecostals worship
Jesus (God manifested in the flesh), we are also listed as an Occult.

That is also why we need to be alert anytime the Media or Government uses
the label "Occult", as they try to infer that all Jesus name "Religions"
are lumped together.
