Bonanza pilot; in contact with tower but not 'cleared to land'; landed and was instructed to 'stop' ...

Narrative:

I was communicating with center and I was given a heading to intersect the localizer; cleared for the ILS approach for the left runway and instructed to contact the tower. I contacted the tower and proceeded to track the localizer inbound. At the time the ceiling was approximately 2;300 AGL overcast. As the runway came into view; I confirmed I was properly lined up and preceded inbound. At one point tower made a call to me about crossing traffic which I acknowledged. I landed on the left runway and began slowing the aircraft in preparation for exiting the runway. As I was approaching a crossing runway the tower controller made an urgent call to me saying 'stop; stop'. I applied hard braking just as an aircraft lifted off the crossing runway in front of me.the controller immediately began saying 'I'm sorry; I'm sorry; etc.' we exited runway and took down a phone number to call. After I reached my hanger I called the tower and spoke to the tower supervisor. He told me that the controller on duty forgot about the cirrus doing a touch and go and that the cirrus turned in sooner than he expected and that I did nothing wrong. Later that day I received another call from the tower supervisor stating that; after listening to the tapes; the controller never actually issued me a landing clearance but rather told me to continue on the approach. In the same conversation he told me that the controller did take full responsibility for what happened but; because a landing clearance was not issued; they would have to file the report as a pilot deviation. I have no question that the controller expected me to land and that he did forget about the cirrus doing a touch and go on the crossing runway. If I had and confirmed cleared to land most likely that would have been granted by the controller but; from my end; I have developed an new landing procedure checklist that incorporates receiving 'a clearance to land' in hopes of preventing something like this from happening in the future.
