[Scientologist leader] David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.
A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church's top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology's Christ-like figure.
“Like Christ, he's been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”
Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the '80s. Leader L Ron Hubbard claimed humans bear traces of an ancient alien civilisation.
