Recognizing false prophets/teachers

[my_adonai_]

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
2Ti 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

1) They will love their own selves, They will have NO BURDEN on the congregation or have extensive help on them concerning their walk with the Lord. They would give shallow, misguided views and leave the believer two times worse than they where in the end

2) They will want money in exchange for a service, The buy a seed bunch with members who are dead on their walk with the Lord, Inspirational speakers who do not want to preach Christ, and wont ever defend HIM but defend themselves on a daily basis just to be approved by men and get their money. The members will be paying for the membership in the church without their knowing

3) They will boast, and exalt themselves over OTHER ministers. Bringing them down and preaching or teaching lies about them. They would even dare bring up false testimonies in order to gain more members, They would even buy people to act sick, crippled etc etc

4) You would see no humility in them, or even if you do it will be false. Their pride will always surface and one way to know is that, they will not receive correction. When you join his/her church or listen to his/her congregation whatever he or she teaches is LAW. It can not be refuted

5) They will speak against the work of The Holy Spirit, denieing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and everything HE has to offer. They will denie all revelations that contradict their doctrine.

6) They will teach traditions that make Obedience to parents of none effect and when you go to them for counsel concerning parent matters, they will lead you to rebel
Mat_15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Mat_15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
Mat_15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

7) They will take everything for granted, and never appreciate the members or those who GOD has given unto their assignment.

8) They will be secret sinners, and even some outright, condoning sin, and unholy living. They will make sin be considered a part of life and not something to be rebuked

9) They wont have a care in the world for the lost, and for those Created in GODs image.

10) They will be Wolves in Sheeps clothing, appearing well on the outside, with white garments, long "inspirational" speeches, suits and all manner of apparel that will make their outward appearance look inviting. (The devil masquerades himself as the angel of light, the pharisees did the same).

11) They wont keep their word, or any agreements you make with them whatsoever

12) They would be good slanderers, defaming peoples falsely character every chance they get

13) Lacking self control, without boundaries. Male pastors will have "private deliverance sessions" with ladies.

14) They will be men with grudges, hating what is good and constantly imposing legalism on people.

15) They will have big goals of expanding their own wealth while the church reminds poor spiritually And physically. Saying, "You reap what you sow" when its the congregation money they are eating. Listen if you give offerings on an altar that you do not get the results of the desires of the things you spoke over that offering, LEAVE THAT CHURCH

16) They would speak demonic tongues, have demonic healings, demonic prophecies, demonic miracles and say "THE LORD has told me". Listen, satan is also a god in hell. There are those who use rings from hell, and clothes from hell when they perform miracles, or healings, watch out. I know a testimony of man who went to a witch, and that witch was later visited by a minister famous in that area, the minister was given a ring which performs miracles by. So have your eyes open, be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit

17) They would also appear godly, do everything to appear that they are not ordinary, but major servants of GOD. All in the means of trapping you.

18) They will send demons in your houses to search out what problems you face and then come tell you the exact thing that you face. I say that witch "doctors" do the same thing. They send demons to survey your house and check what troubles you and come back and say so

19) They will also look at what the majority suffer with, for example ladies have periods regularly, so they will stand and say "Those who have trouble on their lower bellies" and a flock will come up forgetting they on their periods. Or people have regular headaches due to work stress, so they will say those who have headaches come here, and a flock will come up as well. and people will say, THAT IS A TRUE SERVANT OF GOD..!!..

20) They are famous of hypnosis

21) They will teach, and preach, and teach and preach and it still wont help you with the major struggles of your walk with the LORD. They will not teach the Kingdom of GOD mysteries that will help you benefit spiritually and on the physical as well. They will teach you the ends and NEVER THE MEANS. They will say i got this, and never HOW I GOT TO THIS.

22) They will always resist the truth even when you preach it right on their face. Even when you quote bible verse after bible verse, they will stick to what they believe.

23) They will preach about butterflies and rainbows in Christianity and dont tell you about persecutions, trials and tribulations. They will lie to you and tell you all of that is nailed to the cross. smh.. They wont speak of endurance and patience in our christian walk but speak of hear and now. Their sermons will always be RECEIVE and little about DO!

24) They will not speak about Obedience, Righteousness and Holyness because they themselves are NOT

25) Their sermons will not have a testimony of THEIR WORK with the LORD. The word of GOD says that the enemy is overcomed by testimony as well, the victories they have had with their walk with the LORD. And the lessons learnt. Matterfact they will say their walk with the Lord has been a smooth ride, and no need for us to go through persecutions, some will dare to say that there is no need to fast, or even pray.

26) THEY WILL PREACH HALF TRUTHS and NEVER THE FULL TRUTHS

27) They will say that we can not learn anything from the OLD TESTAMENT when the very torah itself is the image of what THE NEW JERUSALEM IS going to be like. We see the image of the mercy seat, the way of offerings, And much much more..

28) They Make Children of Hell more than Children of heaven

29) Their messages will not be that the KINGDOM OF GOD IS COMING!!. Or that these are the LAST DAYS. But rather they will speak of prosperity, and all material mumbo jumbo.

30) Their lives will not show their teachings

If you belong to a church that has these characters, or listen to man or woman that does this. GET OUT OF THAT CHURCH!!!.

And much much more.

 

[gleener]

so what church do you recommend my_adonai_?

 

[Kerry]

The best way to Identify a false preacher is to listen to the message and if the cross is not mentioned or not the focal point then it's false.

 

[ThomistColin]

Looks like I'm in a good church.

All the futurists fall into the category of "false prophets" - they've been wrong since 70AD.

Hmmm, false teachers also teach there is no resurection. Jesus is not returning. Isn't that what you teach?

 

[jag1977]

Hmmm, false teachers also teach there is no resurection. Jesus is not returning. Isn't that what you teach?

False teachers also teach Jesus is returning and there is a resurrection. Where does it say this in scripture?

 

[damombomb]

Really?????????

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17: "For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." Matthew 24:4,5 : "And Jesus answered and said to them, "Take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, saying, "I am the Christ", and will deceive many."

Really??

Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
(2Ti 2:18)

 

[pastac]

Talk about false teachers and prophets just keep reading some of these foolish post on cc you'll easily recognize them!

 

[Larry_Stotle]

Hmmm, false teachers also teach there is no resurrection. Jesus is not returning. Isn't that what you teach?

I'm guessing you are up there with the misunderstanding of (2 Tim 2:17 KJV) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

Yep, they where premature resurrectionists for sure. They were out by a few years.

That said, the disciples of Jesus were all of one accord with the imminence of the "end" time - which have been "surprisingly" more accurate than you futurists...plus or minus a few thousand years

 

[damombomb]

Here is More: The last trump

51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.…:

I can't show you in Scripture though.

Are you saying, he is not coming back and there will be no resurrection for the just and unjust?

[SUP] [/SUP]Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?[SUP]30 [/SUP]And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
[SUP]31 [/SUP]I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
[SUP]36 [/SUP]Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
[SUP]37 [/SUP]And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[SUP]38 [/SUP]But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
[SUP]43 [/SUP]It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[SUP]44 [/SUP]It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[SUP]46 [/SUP]Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[SUP]48 [/SUP]As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[SUP]51 [/SUP]Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[SUP]52 [/SUP]In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
[SUP]53 [/SUP]For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[SUP]54 [/SUP]So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[SUP]55 [/SUP]O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[SUP]56 [/SUP]The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[SUP]57 [/SUP]But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
[SUP]58 [/SUP]Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
