I have found that a large chunk of the Japanese Christians in Japan tend to be far more "cult"-like in their beliefs than, well, pretty much most other actual "cults". Japanese Christianity, or at least the variety of it that seems to be the most mainstream, tends to use the rising of Christ as a very main point - pushing the possibility of others rising from the dead with his power.
I have received pamphlets countless times strongly implying that if I were to convert that Jesus Christ would resurrect my loved ones sometime during my lifetime.

Even in the varieties that don`t push this belief as strongly, it still appears to be there in a lot of Japanese followers.

There have even been cases of zealous believers keeping the bodies of parents/loved ones in their homes secretly in the hope they would revive. I think this makes Christianity look VERY "cult" like to the average person here.

(I write cult in quotes because, quite honestly, the only real difference I see between an established religion and "cult" is number of followers and time of existence. If it`s a new religion, everyone calls it a cult - regardless of whether it is strange or extreme.)
