Neville claims that God speaks directly to him: Claim to some divine authority is not necessarily a dangerous trait, as prominent religious groups within the world today were started by a leader or individual claiming to be a messenger or to have special insight from a divine being. A single leader’s claim to divine authority is the foundation of religions such as Islam (for example, Mohammad: a prophet of Allah), and thus this claim to divine authority itself cannot define a cult. As Neville Cooper may argue: a leader who uses their authority to share their genuine interpretation of the Bible is not necessarily a cultic trait. Neville Cooper claims to focus his statements of creed, and thus what Gloriavale members follow, on the teachings of the bible.
