Recognizing False Teachers
In John 4, John the Apostle demands that we, as Christians, diligently apply several biblical tests to every spiritual idea, every message, or every sermon that we hear in order to distinguish genuine teachers who teach God's truth from false teachers who, in fact, teach damning error. Such a message was appropriate for 1st century Christians—but, at the same time, this same message is vital for Christians to understand today. Join Tom Pennington as he demonstrates from Scripture how Christians must be committed to Recognizing False Teachers.
Part 9
In this passage, John the Apostle, and ultimately our Lord Jesus Himself, is demanding that each of us diligently apply several biblical tests to every spiritual idea and every spiritual message to distinguish genuine teachers from false teachers. But it is important to recognize that false teachers will, in fact, use the Bible in their messages.
