Have you ever got the sense that a pastor was compromising
truth for popularity and power?
The apostle Paul warned us that, in the last days, false
teachers would arise from within our very own ranks. He called
them wolves, people who would teach a popular but perverted
gospel in an attempt to gather disciples to themselves
(Acts 20:29, 30).
Also, speaking of the last days, Jesus warned, “Take heed
that no one deceives you. … Many false prophets will rise up
and deceive many” (Matthew 24:4, 11 NKJV).
How do you spot a false prophet—a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
In Matthew 7:16, Jesus said you would ultimately know
them by their fruits. There is also another specific
sure-fire indicator …
… do they teach that Jesus saves us from our sins
or in our
sins?
As Christians we have to be real cautious about our preachers, the bible should be our guide in our search for truth.
