FALSE TEACHERS...

* Have always been in the Church since Acts (Acts 20).

* More false teachers will show up near the Rapture of the Church, i.e. “the last days” (II Timothy 3).

* False teachers contradict the truth of the Word of God (John 17:17).

* False teachers have 3 key wrong doctrines: the nature of Christ, the nature of Scripture, and God’s plan of salvation through grace.

* Seek to please men and not God.

* Draw people in the Church to themselves and to their ministries and not to the person of Jesus Christ.

* Must be called out by spiritual leaders in the Church and identified by name to warn the sheep of the wolves among us.
