  Identify A False Teacher
  How do you identify a false teacher? There have been many in modern times that have taught extrabiblical doctrines and have let any astray.

  francis, you can use all the available Holy Bible versions that's out there (something like 30 exists), but if you're not born of the Spirit - it's not going to change nor profit you anything, period.
  Jesus declared, "It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63
  As for "judgement", this is what Christ said, "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33 - ie in the Father's purpose and will, Christ has already conquered evil and this world. That's why I am a firm believer of predestination.

  ---kathr4453 on 10/14/12 "but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."
  In order to be on this earth, one needs a body composed of its elements.He shall appear in those elements, in power. We do not appear on earth, we remain changed, translated, beyond corruption and without flesh bodies, until the new heaven and earth are ushered in.
  Not so for the saints of Israel, who must fulfill the agreement they made with YHWH.
  They all, John included, will be raised to life on earth, like His at His return.
  Second, if you can keep the commandments of God, you don't need Christ.---Mark_V. on 10/14/12
  1 Corinthians 7:19 the keeping of the commandments of God.
  1 John 4:2 Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
  If your version does not command to keep the law/commandments of God please let me know. It is very possible that your version does not say that. In which case, you are excused.
  --Mark_V. on 10/14/12
  what does judgment mean to you in these context?
  Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:...and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
  A false teacher says this:
  Peter will not be with us, the body of Christ, in heaven. We will be changed into His likeness at His coming in clouds for us. 1Th 4:16----
  Seems John will be changed like the BOC, and you say not Peter.
  ---kathr4453 on 10/14/12
  The Unveiling of Jesus Christ was written for the future. The subjects in it are all Jewish oriented. It is written to the people He chose to represent His authority on earth, Abraham's physical offspring.
  The nations (Gentiles,KJV) are subservient in John's account of the Lord's day.
  There is no mention of Christ's body in Revelations. That is due to our being snatched away in clouds prior to the unveiling of the Lord on earth.
  francis, when I read the word Judgment, I look up the context for which it was written. I don't take something literal if the context does not allow it.
  Second, if you can keep the commandments of God, you don't need Christ. The reason He came to die was because no man could keep all the commandments. If they broke one, they broke all. You seem to believe you can, without breaking one, then you must be the only one in history other then Christ who can keep the whole law and Christ did not come for you. He came to save sinners. He said you should not lie, be prideful, to help the poor, not walk where you shouldn't walk, or say what you shouldn't say. He told the rich young ruler, sell everything and follow Him, have you sold everything?

  ---christan on 10/13/12
  I am using the KJV of the bible and this is what it says:
  If you believe that the Bible is the word of God, then why argue against the bible? Does you bible also says in many places keep the commandments of God and have faith in Jesus?
  2Ch_19:6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

  Ac 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles
  Paul was severed by the Holy Spirit from the Twelve unto his own evangel. It is not another gospel, but it is different than the Kingdom message.
  Paul was constrained in his ministry by the promises of God to the Fathers.
  The Evangel of the grace of God could not fully proceed until God locked Israel in callousness for rejecting His apostles and prophets, Jesus being the Chief.
  The message you retain is fit for earth, not the heavens.
  Rattling chains of the prisoner is suppose to intimidate. It happens most when a free person is present.
  francis, do you even know what's "keep the commandments of God" even means that was mentioned by Christ numerous times in His ministry? Keep the ten commandments as you understand it? If that was what Christ and His prophets and apostles meant, then there was no reason for Christ to die at Calvary, right?
  Afterall, you insists that you can keep the commands of God and still belief in Christ. Then His death has no purposed, right? He should have just come and go and not die at all, since you have the ability to "keep the commandments of God" to be saved, right?
  Ellen Gould White (whose name adds up to 666) was a wizadress who peeped and muttered because she had a familiar religious spirit.
  She herself said that her work bore either the stamp of God or that of the enemy. Considering her vast numbers of false prophecies, the answer is obvious.
  She was a false teacher.
  So are all those who follow after her.
  I know she got a big surprise when she died and found out there was no such thing as soul sleep. I hope the succeeding surprises she got were pleasant ones.
  ---Cluny on 10/13/12
  This is what is written in the bible, and this is what I teach:
  If you choose to do one and not the other that is up to you. If you want to find doctrines that lead you not to keep the law of God that is your choice
  ---Mark_V. on 10/13/12
  Let me just ask this to be clear.
  WHen you see the word " judgment" What comes to mind?
  How do you define " judgment?"
  "So christians do BOTH keep the Law, AND have faith in Jesus" francis
  And have any succeeded? What if you failed to keep the law but still believe in Christ, do you lose your salvation? If you do "lose your salvation" (not that the elect will lose their salvation anyways), that would then make Christ's death on the cross a failure because He couldn't save the sinner from his sin, as the Father had promised.
  You know, such a doctrine is deserving of eternal damnation that Christ's death only made the sinner savable and then it depended on him keeping the law or he'll lose his salvation.
  ---francis on 10/13/12 "So christians do BOTH
  keep the Law, AND have faith in Jesus"
  Ga 2:15 We, who by nature are Jews, and not sinners out of the nations,
  Your citation of Galatians 2:16-17 is misapplied. I refer you to the verse previous to what you use to support your position.
  Paul is speaking of the Jew, to the Jews in the ecclesia. It is not directed to us, the nations.
  Please attend to the word of God faithfully. This will aid all to discern your spirit. Some already have.
  I pray God open your heart and eyes to be able to correctly divide the word of truth.
  Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, ....for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
  Galatians 2:17 BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found transgressing the law, is therefore Christ the minister of transgression of the law? God forbid.
  Revelation 12:17 the remnant... which keep the commandments of God, AND have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
  Revelation 14:12 saints: they that keep the commandments of God, AND the faith of Jesus.
  So christians do BOTH
  keep the Law, AND have faith in Jesus
  Paul was the Apostle God commissioned to reach the nations. The Twelve failed to do this, and Scripture explains why this is so.
  Those who believe and teach judgment of any adverse kind towards the Body cannot find it except by appealing to the other Hebrew writers, thereby failing to correctly cut the word of truth.
  Paul alone has the truth for today. Refusing his gospel is a one-way ticket to darkness and confusion.
  francis, you contradict the Word. There is no condemnation to those in Christ. You gave (1 Peter 4:17),
  "For the time has come for judgment to being at the house of God, and if it beings with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?"
  The passage is not speaking for condemnation of believers, but the purging, chastening, and purifying of the Church by the loving hand of God. It's far better and more important to kingdom work to endure suffering as the Lord purges and strengthens the Church, than to endure the eternal suffering of the unbeliever in the lake of fire. And if God so strongly and painfully judges His Church which He loves, what will be His fury on the ungodly?
  Some translaton say judgment was given in favour of the saints
  Bottom line judgment does not mena punishment. It can mean decision
  ---francis on 10/12/12
  I've found that the quickest method of identify and false teacher is to ask them to explain about the BLOOD of Christ.
  ---wivv on 10/12/12
  So Judgment starts FIRST with the house of God. Which mean that mark_V and Phil you guys are both wrong in you runderstanding of judgment
  Francis, God's Word,
  "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (Romans 8:1).
  "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death" why?
  "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
  Your walking according to the flesh, trying to keep the Law.
  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in [his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad
  Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
  Thus the judgment must takle place
  1, After we die, because as long as anyone is alivem, they can make a choice for or against Jesus. But once we die or choice is final
  2: He is comingback withis reward, which means that the reward/ judgment is made BEFORE he comes back
  There is no judgment for the believer after death. They have passed from death to life in Him. There is no need of "cleansing" since the righteousness of God Himself has already justified the elect.
  We shall stand before Him at the Dais of Christ to receive, not be judged. G2865 komizo
  By citing Hebrew letters, and applying them to the body of Christ, a great dishonor and mischief takes place.
  One cannot be a new creation in Christ, and yet suffer any kind of judgment. It is God Who justifies the ungodly.
  ---Phil on 10/12/12
  1. Jesus is our advocate in heaven: "yes, Jesus is in heaven, He speaks on our behalf who are still here on earth."
  2. Our judgment takes place after we die, "Wrong, If you are saved, there is no judgment, only rewards. If you are not saved, you are condemned already. You will be at the "Great White Throne of Judgment" for sentencing." (John 3:18) "He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already,..."
  3. The judgment is the same as the purging or cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary,
  "Wrong, the Judgment is for sentencing those who are condemned already." The heavenly sanctuary is pure.
  so lets put these great text together:
  1 John 2:1 And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
  1: Jesus is our advocate in heaven
  2: Our judgment takes place after we die
  3: The judgment is the same as the purging or cleansing of the heavenly samctuary
  4: because it takes place before Jesus comes it can be called PREADVENT
  5: this judgment is investigative rather than punitive
  ---francis on 10/11/12
  People are cleanse of sin only in the heavenly sanctuary you said. I do not see anyone walking into the heavenly sanctuary to have the sins cleanse. I have not read that anywhere.
  --Mark_V. on 10/11/12
  So we do not have to be there in person. Jesus our advocate (1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:) appears on our behalf
  francis, that is what you said, here it is again,
  "blood is not a deteregent, blood is only "used to cleanse people of sin ONLY in the heavenly sanctuary"
  As to the question, there is many false teachers teaching false doctrines, but they cannot lead anyone away from the Truth. Once in Christ, always in Christ, for He will never leave you nor forsake you if you have true faith in Him. We are spiritually baptized into One body in Christ.
  ---Mark_V. on 10/11/12
  Jerry, I will answer your statement here, You said to me,
  "MarkV: That was so lame as to be beneath even you. The high Priest did not institute the seventh-day Sabbath - God did at Creation"
  God instituted the Seventh Day Sabbath, the high priest instituted the Seventh day as Saturday. God never once said Saturday was the Sabbath. The Levitical priesthood was responsible for the days the Sabbath was to be done by Israel. We are not under the Levitical prieshood, we are under the High Priest who is Christ.
  Bro.Mike, you are right, myself do not have a televisin. Many of the preachers on there are only concerned with money.,that another reason. Quit watch televisin.bless you all.ELENA
  pat robertson is a false teacher. all he cares about is money
  ---mike on 10/10/12
  The people are not cleanse in the heavenly sactuary, they cannot enter it. Only the High Priest.
  who said the people had to be there? The earthly sanctuary served as a pettern, did the people have to be in the most holy place on the day of atonement to be cleaned of thier sisn?
  ---francis on 10/10/12
  The people are not cleanse in the heavenly sactuary, they cannot enter it. Only the High Priest. The blood represented on the altar, would clean the sins of the people outside the tabernacle. Nothing unclean enters the tabernacle. And the earthly tabernacle was build by men, using the instructions of God. The heavenly tabernacle is pure, it belongs to God.
  trey, The verses that come before Hebrews 9:23 talk about the use of blood in the old covenant, by the priest and by Moses. By the priest to obtain redeemption, and to cleanse the people from thier sins. Verses 9-12 stated that the use of animal blood did not bring redeemption, it was christ blood who did that. the earthly sanctuary was only a pattern of what was to happen in the heavenly.
  Verse19-22 says that allmost all things are purged ( cleansed) with blood. Speaking about Moses use of blood. Verse 23 which is a summary of 1-22 says that the heavenly things also had to be purged ( leansed) with blood . But with Christ blood.
  blood is not a deteregent, blood is only used to cleanse people of sin ONLY in the heavenly sanctuary
  ---francis on 10/9/12
  I have tried my best to explain Jesus ministery in the heavenly sanctuary, and The need to cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of the sins God's people as best as I can. But lets face it, 125 word limit will not do.
  For those who are truely interested, not those who wish to make a useless arguement, I would referr you to a booklet by Joe Crews called: THE BLOOD BEHIND THE VEIL
  francis, the passage in (Heb. 9:23) does not say things were impure in heaven. "the copies of the things in Heaven" they were only copies of the real thing. The copies (v.8:5) are the earthly tabernacles and its vessels were only symbolic replicas of the true heavenly tabernacle (v.8:2) and were also made unclean by the transgressions of the people (Lev. 16:16). Christ superior sacrificeis a major theme. As of yet, I have not found any place where it says the tabernacle in heaven was impure. Another thing, the tabernacle on earth by made with earthly things, the tabernacle of heaven is not.
  ---Mark_V. on 10/9/12
  francis, please forgive me. When I wrote that, I was in a terrible mood. Lord bless you.
  ---trey on 10/8/12
  Francis, I would really like to hear you expound on Hebrews 9:23. After reading your comment I'm not sure you have a clue as to what it means???
  how can the heavenly tabernacle be dirty?
  ---Mark_V. on 10/8/12
  First " dirty" is cluny's word. I am just meeting him where he is.
  can you purify that which is pure?
  Why would it need purification is it was not impure?
  ---francis on 10/8/12
  1: Can you give me the book chapter and verse ( scripture) that says " He would go into the holy of holies with something tied to his leg in the event he died they would drag him out?"
  2: this is the kicker: WHY did the high priest go into the holy of holies? What task did he perform besides this one: Leviticus 16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins:
  Why did he need to go inside the holy of holies to cleanse Israel?
  Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
  It just good to know there are Waters as yet, untouched.
  I would even go as far as to say untouchable by anything or anyone, not of God!
  ---TheSeg on 10/8/12
  francis, you are too much. How you can say,
  "The heavenly sanctuary got " dirty" the same way in which the erathly sanctuary did."
  how can the heavenly tabernacle be dirty? It's at the Throne of God. Also, nothing in the earthly tabernacle was unholy. Did you not read that the high priest would go inside and if he was unclean, he died instantly, and someone would have to drag him out. He would go into the holy of holies with something tied to his leg in the event he died they would drag him out. Nothing unclean inside the Holy of Holies. You need to read Scripture francis, you fabricate all kinds of things with the way you read.
  You've never explained how it got dirty to start with, since sin cannot enter heaven.
  ---Cluny on 10/7/12
  The heavenly sanctuary got " dirty" the same way in which the erathly sanctuary did.
  Leviticus 16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, "because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins:"
  Sin started in heaven with Lucifer so heaven has seen sin.
  Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord,
  It is the record of our sin that has to be blotted out, or cleanses/ purged
  francis//... like it or not, christ is our high priest. What does the high priest do:
  You ignore the FACT that Jesus as our High Priest is of the Melchizedek. order, not the old Aaronic priesthood. Hebrews 5:10, 6:20.
  And of course, contrary to what you want to believe, Jesus continues to be our Great High Priest and Intercessor at the right hand of God. He did NOT go from one part of the heavenly sanctuary to another. Your 1844 things stinks.
  ---elee7537 on 10/8/12
  Cluny, good point. Why should the heavenly sancturay (tabernacle) have to be cleaned? That is nonsense. francis will think of anything he can which really constitutes a false teacher. Works by the law.
  Christ High Priestly ministry is to be exercised in the perfect tabernacle of heaven. "The perfect tabernacle." The real High Priest who offered the real sacrifice for sin serves in the real tabernacle. He is the complete fulfillment of the shadowy copies in the Levitical system. "Copies" check (v.8:5) means earthly tabernacle and it's vessels were only symbolic replicas of the true heavenly tabernacle (v.8:2), and were also made unclean by the transgressions of the people (Lev. 16:16).
  \\I am done with this if you do not wish to accept christ as high priest who cleanses the heavenly sanctuary of sins that is you\\
  elee... like it or not, christ is our high priest. What does the high priest do:
  Leviticus 16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins:
  I am done with this if you do not wish to accept christ as high priest who cleanses the heavenly sanctuary of sins that is you
  ---francis on 10/7/12
  ---elee7537 on 10/7/12
  The SDA doctrine that Jesus cleansed the heavenly sanctuary is in line with Hebrews, chapters 8,9 and 10, which stated that Jesus AFTER his death, and by his blood would cleanse the heavenly sanctuary. Chapter 9 verse 27 lets us know that this cleansing is also the judgment. The same judgment mentioned in Daniel 7:10 before Jesus returns ( PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT)
  What Maccebees did was not cleansing it was cleaning the physical building. After the death of Solomon, and after the Babylonian captivity, there were MANY cleaning, and many cleansing.
  What makes that of Maccabees any different? ( THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION, be very careful how you answer)
  Adventists believe that Daniel 8:14 speaks of the heavenly sanctuary however, it is clear that it is the earthly sanctuary that is in view.
  The 2300 daily sacrifices corresponds to the time when Antiochus Epihances stopped the temple sacrifices. They were restored some 3years later by the Maccabeans.
  If the Adventist interpretation really had an merit (and it doesn't), then we would expect other Biblical scholars to believe in it, but no one does.
  This sanctuary theory was invented by a follower of Miller named O.R. L. Crosier, who later rejected because it lacked support from scripture.
  Since nothing defiled can enter heaven, how did the heavenly sanctuary get dirty that it needed cleansing?
  ---Cluny on 10/6/12
  This is a very good question. There are many people including some SDA who do not yet understand this need for cleansing the heavenly sanctuary
  So It is really our sin, the record of our sins that has to be cleansed
  Contrary to what most christians believe, identifying false prophets is indeed very difficult especially during these end times.
  False prophets and false teachers come from within the church. They put on a false front and, like satan himself, mix truth with error which is often very difficult to detect especially with today's christians who live their lives on the surface of their being. Identifying false prophets and false teachers require two things: watchfullness and a strong foundation in the bible (without the use of concordances, christians dictionaries, and the plethora of different opinions by authors who claim they know the truth).
  ---Steveng on 10/7/12
  how did the heavenly sanctuary get dirty that it needed cleansing?
  Christ in the heavenly sanctuary as High priest does the same thing that the earthly priest did for us.
  Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.
  Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these
  It is the record of our sin, in the heavenly books that are cleansed.
  ---elee7537 on 10/5/12
  I do not expect to convince you of anything
  I have showed you the TEN COMMANDMENTS and you reject the ten and choose nine
  I have showed you from scripture that the sabbath is called THE SABBATH OF THE LORD and you reject that and call it Jewish Sabbath
  I have showed you from scripture that the sabbath is about God creating in six days and resting the 7th, you reject that also
  I do not expect to convince you that Jesus is our high priest serving in the heavenly sanctuary
  ---francis on 10/6/12
  --elee7537 on 10/5/12
  Hebrews 8:2 the sanctuary, the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
  How does Jesus Cleanse this sanctuary?
  Hebrews 9:12 by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,...It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified ...as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
  When will Christ cleanse the heavenly sanctuary?
  Daniel 8:14 Unto two thousand and three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
  How do we get that this date is 1844?
  Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people ( that time started 457 BC. 457 to 1884 is 2300 days)
  Sorry Francis but you really need to get that 1844 thing into this issue if you want to be convincing.
  What we see in Scripture is very plain -
  Hebrews 3:12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,...
  Nowhere in scripture does it say that Jesus ministered in the outer court of the heavenly sanctuary for 1800 years and then went into the holy of Holies.
  As noted the inventor of the SDA sanctuary doctrine O.R.L. Crosier later rejected it because it lacked sufficient scripture backing.
  Try defending the SDA Investigative Judgment theory.
  Called " investigative judgement" because it occurs out of books.
  Investigative Judgment, Trinity, Rapture, Bible, sacraments and terms not found in the bible.
  Jesus does what the priest and high priest did:
  1: Intersession: Leviticus 23:19 <-> Hebrews 7:25
  2: Cleansing the sanctuary: Leviticus 16:30<-> Hebrews 9:23-26
  3: Death occurs in the outer court: Hebrews 13:12
  ---francis on 10/5/12
  francis //I accept your challenge, now It is up to you to show ANY SDA teaching NOT found in the bible
  Try defending the SDA Investigative Judgment theory. Where O' where do we see in Scripture that Jesus ministered in the Outer court of the Sanctuary and then went into the Holy of Holies on 22 october 1844?
  The SDA Investigative Judgment theory was first advanced by O.R.L. Crosier while walkiing thru a corn field after the predictionn of 1844 failed. This theory received the annointing from a vision induced by Ellen White. However, Crosier later rejected the theory stating that it was not valid from the scripture. Even William Miller who started all these problems, rejected the theory.
  Fortunately many Adventists today do not believe in this theory.
  i agree with francis. every sda teaching is in scriptur, but then again so are the words: satan, serves, the lord. put them together in your own fashion and the bible says that the lord serves satan.
  ---aka on 10/5/12
  That is why I am not not not.... a Seventh Day Adventist. Each of these promote the teachings not of Christ but of unbiblical doctrines or interpretations that are unique to their sect.
  I accept your challenge, now It is up to you to show ANY SDA teaching NOT found in the bible
  Lets use the 27 funtermental beliefs of SDA as our guide , as this is the book which outlines all 27 fundermental beliefs of SDA
  we can also use the SDA church manual if you would like, or the amazing facts study guide, or it is written study guide
  What about Jude, Peter, James, and John?
  ---francis on 10/4/12
  This is Paul's exhortation to us.
  1C 4:15 For if you should be having ten thousand escorts in Christ, nevertheless not many fathers, for in Christ Jesus, through the evangel, I beget you. I am entreating you, then, become imitators of me.
  1C 11:1 Become imitators of me, according as I also am of Christ.
  Phl 3:17 Become imitators together of me, brethren, and be noting those who are walking thus, according as you have us for a model.
  1Th 1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord.
  The Circumcision writers are not our apostles. Only Paul was commissioned to us, the Gentiles.
  ---Phil on 10/5/12
  // I know you are the type of person who ".. could kick the daylights out of you and not violate any of the 10 commandments."
  Sorry Jerry but even a mentally challenged person could see that the 10 commandments does not command us to love our neighbor.
  Even Jesus Himself did not quote from any of the 10 commandments when He answered that the chief commandment in the law was to love God and ones neighbor.Matthew 22:36f
  Your issue is not with me and others but with the truth (or Truth).
  Will the REAL Leej AKA elee7537 please stand up and defend yourself
  Some impostor is claiming that we can identify false teachers by "..the teaching is contrary to what we have read in the Bible."
  Tell them we need to follow:
  1: According to Rabbical tradition, ---elee7537 on 10/2/12
  2:... church historians...---elee7537 on 9/28/12
  This impostor is claiming that bible only thing in your name
  elee7537, do not let that stand. I know you are the type of person who ".. could kick the daylights out of you and not violate any of the 10 commandments."
  so find that impostor and do it!
  Any denomination whose focus in on the teaching of their founder instead of on Christ, is likely to be a cult an promotes false teachings. That is why I am not not not a Mormon, a Jehovah's Witnesses or a Seventh Day Adventist. Each of these promote the teachings not of Christ but of unbiblical doctrines or interpretations that are unique to their sect.
  There was at one time,these seemed like pentecostal folks,preachers who had people pick up snakes,and if you survive that incedent you were in right standing faith in God. They were going on the verse Mark.16:18and they will pick.up snakes and they will.not harm incedent. This was and is a false teaching. Because God tempts. no Man and. We should not.tempt and play with serpents. Snakes ELENA..We had this doctrine in error right here in Michigan.
  If believers followed Paul's teachings alone, no sects would exist.
  ---Phil on 10/4/12
  I think that our first indication that someone is a false teacher is from the indewlling Holy Spirit who seems to point out that the teaching is contrary to what we have read in the Bible. Certain thoughts enter our minds that gives us a feeling that something is wrong. If we act on it, then what is wrong often comes in focus.
  It is ver easy to identify false teachers:
  2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,...even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
  2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption:
  1: They Deny Jesus as messiah and as creator
  2: The teach against the Law and Commandments
  Unless one is not born of the Spirit of God, there's no ways he can tell the difference between the Truth and the lies of the devil and identifying the false teacher.
  Jesus declared, "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: for He shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
  He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you." John 16:13,14. This is a promise from Jesus that can never be broken nor will a Christian receive only half-truths but "ALL TRUTH."

  A pattern of sound words...
  The apostasy of Christendom is marked by its use of unsound, unscriptural, and exra-biblical terms.
  Whoever teaches the word without retaining the words that God used, and substitutes man-made phraseologies instead of what God has said, is most likely teaching falsehoods.
  God has been very clear to explain all that we need to know. His words to us were completed by Paul the Apostle Col 1:25.
  The departure of todays teachers and preachers from the Gospel that Paul gave us is the first sign of apostasy and error.
  The proof that Christendom is filled with false teachers is the multitude of sects and divisions that have arisen.
  There would not be these divisions if believers followed the doctines of Paul our Apostle, and kept the Circumcision writers in their proper place.
  Paul alone has the truth for today. He alone received the latest revelations directly from the Lord to give to the nations.
