C. “Cults use pressure tactics to coerce members into submission.” SDASBC 12

The word “coercion” is defined as “forcible constraint or restraint.” All who possess Christian love toward one another will be motivated to persuade and try to reclaim those who are drifting away from the tenets of the faith as understood by the community, but forced submission is incompatible with kingdom of Christ and is rejected by Seventh-day Adventists. SDASBC 12.5
