Is Mormonism a Cult?

Recently the pastor of a leading Baptist church, while introducing presidential candidate Rick Perry, proclaimed Mitt Romney to not be a Christian because he is a Mormon, which the pastor classified as a "cult".

His words have stirred up quite the hornet's nest. So, was he right or was he wrong. Just what is a "cult"? Are Mormons Christians as they claim, or are they something else?

Mark Driscoll, a pastor and author in Seattle, WA, wrote a well researched blog post to answer that question. It's not a quick read, so give yourself a half-hour do digest it. But he does a good job of summarizing the meaning of "cult" and pointing out Mormon beliefs that differ from orthodox Christianity.
