False Teachers: The Test

Heretics often mix truth with error and can be very deceiving.  The best way to spot a false teacher is to find out what they believe about Jesus and salvation.  If they stray even a tiny bit from the following truths than they can’t be trusted.

• Jesus Christ is God.  He is not an angel.  He is not just a great teacher.  He is not only a prophet.  HE IS GOD.
• Salvation is by faith not by works.  There is nothing we can do to earn salvation.  Jesus did it all.  He paid for our sins by dying on the cross, and he conquered death by rising on the third day.  We need only agree with Him, and accept Him as our Lord.
