As a general word of caution I would strongly suggest not being involved with this weekend's communion event in Washington DC or anything else that is occurring Oct 9-12 involving people steeped into NAR.
The other caution; of course is the whole ecumenical movement going around these days. I would make a further differentiation between a personal contact with someone who we may have a one on one time of fellowship or prayer that is searching for truth as opposed to involving ourselves in corporate worship with an apostate church.
I would also say that no matter how we view the concept of God's election in terms of our own "free will" that no attempt of man to bring together crowds will change how many ultimately come to faith; although I am not excluding some making genuine conversions; in general forced conversions or "decisional regeneration" are not scripturally sound processes. The greater warning of not carefully assessing and warning about those taking communion being true believers and more seriously if they aren't compromised in a lifestyle of continual patterns of sin puts a person in danger as Corinthians makes clear. Just how anyone can control that issue among a mile plus long mass of attendees at the Capitol is a mystery to me.
As to warning of various denominations being cults and or fallen from their original doctrines I don't see any value of risking being penalized for mentioning specifics. Overall deception is rife and in reality very few who are already in denial and embracing the agenda of the coming world religion will change their minds. There may be a few unaware of the influencers in the current political and religious state that is rapidly expanding. Suffice to say that we need to search the scriptures daily to see what is true; and heed warnings about a little leaven affecting the whole lump; and such parables as a mustard tree which apparently is beyond the natural size of the plant.
