2 Peter 2
Berean Study Bible
Deliverance from False Prophets
1Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies that even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of the truth will be defamed. 3In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with tales they have concocted. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.
Yes false teachers are all around us. Another issue is the teaching of misunderstood biblical concepts.
Does your church say you have to be baptized for salvation? If so, can you state the Book and verse that claims that?
I remember we took our son downtown to a youth group meeting. Afterward he said it was nice but that he had to correct the teacher. He said he didn't know where it came from but he quoted Book and verse. It seemed they were trying to raise funds but weren't allowing God to raise and bless their fundraising. They were putting man made stipulations on donations for salvation.
How do you discern a false teacher? One of the ways is to read and study the Bible. If you understand scripture then you will be able to discern when scripture is being twisted and spun into false teachings.
Satan twists the word of God for sinful purposes!
Another sign is how is your pastor or preacher living? Is he living a simple life or is he living "high on the hog"?
Remember, "The longstanding verdict against them remains in force"!
Blessings, David
