I don't view Christianity itself as a cult, but Christianity itself can be used to form a cult under the right leadership (David Koresh comes to mind). Most of the Christian churches I have seen have no strict rules on who can join, nor rules which must be followed in order to remain a member. It's a strictly voluntary come-and-go-as-you-please organization in my experience. So I'd say that no, Christianity isn't a cult, but the doctrine can be used by manipulative individuals as a part of forming a cult organization.
They aren't so come as you please for certain people.
