Is It a Cult? - A Fellowship of Fear.

In fact, it's a source of pride.

"We had reality, experience," Haining said. "We weren't a religion."

The church leaders said everyone had a "calling" in the church.

"When I first got saved, it was really hard to find anyone in Harold Warner's church (in Tucson, Ariz.) that wasn't called either to be a pastor, an evangelist, or one of their wives," Haining said, "and they boasted that this was a sign of revival. Well, what it did was, everybody was anxious to get what they called 'sent out.'"

The only way to be sent out was to be "discipled," which meant the person wishing to get sent out followed the teachings and mannerisms of the pastor.

So when a person gets sent out, he is no longer Ken Haining or Richard Montes. He is merely a carbon copy of the discipling pastor.

Montes was into the fellowship. He started telling high school buddies about this place where the pastor was cool, the music was great and kids were being "saved" left and right.

"John Lennon had just died," Montes said. "It was around that time. Brought a lot of my musician friends. Paul did a sermon on John Lennon. He was a big Beatles freak.

"Boy, I'd say within the first two to three weeks when I started going, I brought about maybe 50 kids from our school," he said. "Not all of them stuck, but a lot of them did."

As the year went on, and Montes turned 18, he felt a part of something greater than himself.

"I felt good," he said. "Something touched me. I had an experience with Christ. I really did."

He began to be discipled by Campo, and his spirit was thriving. But Montes, the musician, still had a dream. With hopes of possibly gaining entrance to the Berklee School of Music in Boston, he had also begun putting together demo tapes of his guitar skills.
