there are many who make the mistake of following man instead of our Savior.. directly or indirectly, some follow dead mans opinions others follow the opinions of living men, but we must follow our Savior , and no matter what any pastor may teach pray and study for yourself, like the Berians, just because Paul was an apostle it didn't prevent them from seeing for themselves what the truth was, we should question everything, no matter whop speaks or writes it.
1I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
You preach the gospel to sinners..... you preach/teach doctrine to saved people.
"Turning their ears from truth" indicates these were already walking in truth.
Paul is instructing Timothy how to minister to the house-churches in Ephesus.
This needs to be nailed-down to prevent confusion.

Unsaved souls hear the word of God and reject it turning to false gospels. Romans chapter one is a good presentation of this as well as John 3 where they turned from the light to darkness because their deeds were evil. Verse 21 or so in John 3.
Many profess that which they do not possess. Tares are those who never received Gods word in their soul but dismissed it in their heads. Many churches today preach a false doctrine of good works and deny that it is grace that saves.

Really? They much be those mythical kind and must hang around with all those teaching that we can be saved and sin all we want, because I can't recall seeing anyone saying "our works save us", I think the imaginary "our works save us" crowd needs to meet the "we can be saved by grace then sin all we want" guys in the streets and handle this disagreement "old school". Who is saying works save?
