How to detect False Apostles, prophets, teachers, antichrists, messiahs, and wolves.
The Bible clearly tells us to test the spirits because everyone claiming to know or belong to Jesus do not belong to Jesus. Jesus clearly said that on Judgment day there will be many people who say Lord did we not prophesy in your name,
cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works? Jesus on that day will say to many false converts and deceivers I never knew you depart from me you who work iniquity (Matthew 7:21-23).
What’s the test to know If someone is a true believer in The Living Divine Christ The Holy Messiah? He that believes Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but he that denieth this does not come from God.
This is a powerful revelation by The Holy Spirit of God.
The Bible also tells us that there are antichrists among us (1 John 4:3) the Bible tells us that there are wolves in sheep’s clothing, outwardly they look like sheep but inwardly they are ravenous wolves (Matthew 7:15-20)
This means outwardly they look and sound Christian but they are not of Christ at all. God himself knows exactly who these pretenders are. The bible says If they don’t have The Spirit of Christ living in them, they are not of his (Romans 8:9).
God in his word shows us how to detect and discern this false apostles, prophets, teachers, antichrist, deceivers, deceitful workers, and wolves.
So how do we detect them one may ask? The bible shows us all we have do to is go to the word of God and let the word of God speak for itself. The Bible reveals to us who they are and instructs us to flee from them and their false teachings.
True believers in Christ listen, obey, and follow the voice of their Shepherd and Savior Jesus. True believers will not follow the voice of a stranger. The Holy Spirit teaches us believers in Him the truth from His Word.
He The Holy Spirit himself instructs us, and leads us into all truth (John 14:26) (John 16:13-15) (Matthew 10:19-20) (1 John 2:27) (Nehemiah 9:20).
The good news is that we are not left here as orphans (John 14:18) For our God is with us in The Person of He The Holy Spirit and He will help us against all these false prophets and teachers.
Remember children of God The Holy Spirit is God himself. God knows all hearts and He knows exactly who these false prophets and teachers are. He will navigate us and protect us from these false prophets.
He has given us his word to protect us and to alert us as to who they are. We must use His Word to fight in these last and evil days. Now more than ever you need to get in the word of God for yourself.
False Prophets and false messiahs.
(Matthew 7:15-20) (Matthew 24:11, 24).
False teachers.
(2 Peter 2:1).
Antichrist and the spirit of antichrist.
(1 John 2:2) (1 John 4:3) (1 John 2:18, 22) (2 John 1:7).
Wolves in sheep’s clothing, False Prophets, and Identifying them by their fruit.
(Matthew 7:15-23).
Deceitful workers and people who disguise themselves as Apostles of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:13).
False Apostles of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:13).
Satan has servants too and they disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
(2 Corinthians 11:15).
The Bible warned us that there will be people who preach and teach a different Jesus it will be under a different kind of spirit and not The Holy Spirit and that there will also be those who preach and teach another gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4).
The Bible teaches us and instructs us not to believe everyone just because they claim to speak by The Spirit.
But we are to test them with The Holy Word of God to see if the spirit they have comes from God (1 John 4:1).
Here below is how you test them.
Anyone who says Jesus is not The Christ is a liar and is not of God.
(1 John 2:18-27).
Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist and is not of God.
(1 John 2:22).
Anyone who does not believe in Jesus as The Son of God cannot go to the Father nor does that person know the Father.
(John 14:6) (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
Anyone who confesses Christ before men He will also confess them before His Father in Heaven. But whosoever denies Him before men He also will deny them before His Father in Heaven.
(Matthew 10:32-33) (Revelation 3:5).
Anyone who says Jesus did not come into the world as a man in a real human body. That person is not of God. The Bible says this is that spirit of antichrist and deception.
(1 John 4:3).
Anyone who says Jesus was not God on the cross that person is not of God. They are denying the deity and Supremacy of Christ and that person the bible says has the spirit of antichrist and deception.
(1 John 4:3) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Anyone who says to you Jesus started as just a mere man but grew into godhood is not of God.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Anyone who says to you Jesus ceased to be God at any time or that Jesus laid his divinity aside is not of God.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Anyone who tells you that you shouldn’t mention the name of Jesus is not of God.
(Romans 10:13) (Philippians 2:9-11).
Anyone who says to you Jesus is Michael the ArchAngel and not God in human flesh is not of God.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
The Bible teaches us that Jesus was God, is God and always will be God. Jesus never at any time ceased to be God. What’s more than this the bible teaches us that God The Father has honored and elevated His Son above all creation in heaven and in earth.
The bible clearly says that God has made His Son Jesus’ name superior than all the Angels and any other created being for that matter (John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Anyone who denies Jesus became a man is a deceiver and an antichrist.
(2 John 1:7-11) (John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Anyone who denies Jesus’ sinless nature, life, and Deity is not of God.
(John 1:29-36) (1 John 3:5) (1 Peter 1:18-19) (1 Peter 2:22) (2 Corinthians 5:21) (Hebrews 4:15) (Isaiah 53:9) (John 8:29) (Luke 1:35) (Matthew 1:18-25).
Anyone who says to you Jesus is a sinner is not of God.
(John 1:29-36) (1 John 3:5) (1 Peter 1:18-19) (1 Peter 2:22) (2 Corinthians 5:21) (Hebrews 4:15) (Isaiah 53:9) (John 8:29) (Luke 1:35) (Matthew 1:18-25).
Anyone who tells you that you do not have to be born again to be saved is not of God.
(John 3:3-7).
Anyone who tells you Jesus is not The One and only Savior is not of God.
(Acts 4:12) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (John 3:16, 36) (John 4:42) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 8:24) (1 John 2:1-2) (1 John 4:14) (1 John 5:11-13) (1 Timothy 1:15) (Galatians 2:16).
Anyone telling you that you have to work for your salvation is lying to you.
(Acts 16:30-31) (John 3, 16, 36) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (1 John 5:11-13) (Romans 10:3-4) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38-39) (Romans 10:9-13) (Galatians 6:14) (Philippians 3:9).
The bible clearly teaches us that salvation is not by works.
(Romans 3:24-26) (Romans 4:1-7) (Galatians 2:16, 21) (Galatians 5:4) (Titus 3:5) (Galatians 6:14) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 10:3-4) (Acts 13:38-39) (Romans 8:3) (Romans 11:6) (Romans 16:27) (2 Timothy 1:9-10) (1 Corinthians 1:30) (Philippians 3:9).
Nor is salvation faith + works. You cannot add anything to the finish work of Christ. Salvation is faith in Jesus alone apart from all works = salvation.
In other words, all you need for Salvation is to believe On The Son and you will be saved and have everlasting life. God just wants you to believe in His Son.
(John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (Acts 16:30-31) (Romans 3:24-26) (Philippians 3:9).
Anyone telling you faith in Jesus alone is not enough for your salvation is lying to you and denying scripture.
(Acts 16:30-31) (John 3, 16, 36) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (1 John 5:11-13) (Romans 3:24-26) (Romans 4:5) (Romans 10:3-4) (Galatians 2:16) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38-39) (Romans 10:9-13).
True biblical repentance when it comes to salvation means to believe On Christ. You are repenting from your unbelief in The Savior Jesus to now believing in Him.
(John 16:9) (John 8:24) (John 3:16, 36) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47).
The bible tells us that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all men.
(1 Timothy 2:3-6) (1 John 2:1-2) (1 Corinthians 15:21-22) (2 Corinthians 5:13-15) (Hebrews 2:9) (Titus 3:4-6) (1 Timothy 4:9-10) (Romans 5:6-8, 15-18) (Romans 10:1-4) (John 1:12, 29) (1 Peter 3:18) (John 3:16-18) (John 4:42) (John 8:24) (1 John 4:14) (Colossians 1:19-20) (2 Peter 3:9) (1 Timothy 1:15) (Romans 10:9-13).
Salvation in Christ is a free gift given by God unto to all men. Salvation is not by works nor can it ever be earned. We are not saved by God by what we do, we are saved by God by what Christ already did on that cross at Calvary.
To be saved we must believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Finished means we cannot add anything to his perfect sacrifice for us on that cross. If we try to add anything to his finished work that is us saying that Jesus is not sufficient and powerful enough to save us by Himself.
If we try to add anything to his finished work that is perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 6:23) (Romans 4:5) (Titus 3:5) (Galatians 2:16, 21) (Romans 10:3-4) (Acts 13:38-39) (John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (Acts 16:30-31) (Romans 3:25-26).
Remember anyone who calls on the name of The Lord to save them will be saved (Romans 10:13). It really is that simple.
Yes, anyone who believes On The Son shall never perish and have everlasting life (John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (Acts 16:30-31).
2 Corinthians 11:4-15 tells us that false apostles will preach and teach a different Jesus under a different kind of spirit and that they will preach a different gospel.
The Bible goes on to say that there are false apostles among us and that they are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:13).
The Bible goes on to say that the devil himself has his servants too and that these servants of his disguise themselves as servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
1 Corinthians 11:19 tells us that there will be heresies among us. Look here below.
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
This is an amazing revelation By The Spirit of God. So, God in his infinite wisdom turns this around for our good. The heresies among us reveal who the true children of God are. It shows that we who have God’s approval will be recognized!
In other words, this means there must be a division among us, and nothing will change that. This also means a holy separation must take place. This Holy separation reveals the people who truly follow Gods Living Word. This separation separates the sheep from the goats.
The false prophets and false teachers always take their focus off The Person of Jesus and place the focus on their false teachings, theologies, traditions, and heresies.
All you must do people of God is keep your focus on the very person and Deity of Jesus.
Does the bible teach God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ? Yes.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Did Jesus at any time cease to be God? No.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Was Jesus God on the cross? Yes.
(John 1:1-3, 14) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Hebrews 1:1-14) (Colossians 1:15-20).
Did Jesus really die on a cross? Yes. the bible says Jesus Christ is the only one who literally died on the cross for all our sins. The bible says Jesus was literally buried. And the bible says Jesus literally, physically, (bodily) resurrected from his grave three days later to eternal life never to die again (Acts 2:22-24) (Acts 13:26-38) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Matthew 27) (Matthew 28:1-20) (Mark 16:1-20) (Luke 24:1-8, 45-48) (John 20:1-31) (1 Corinthians 15) (Acts 1:1-11).
Does the bible say Jesus Christ died on a cross for the sins of the whole world? Yes.
(1 John 2:1-2).
Does the bible say Jesus is The One and only Savior of the whole world? Yes.
(John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (1 John 2:1-2) (John 4:42) (John 10:9) (John 14:6) (1 John 4:14).
Is Jesus The One and Only mediator between God and men? Yes.
(1 Timothy 2:4-6).
Is Jesus The One and Only way to God The Father, heaven, and eternal life? Yes.
(John 14:6) (John 8:24) (Romans 6:23) (Romans 10:9-13) (John 5:24) (John 10:9) (John 11:25-26) (1 John 5:11-13) (Acts 4:12).
Has God predestined people to go to an eternal hell before they are even born? No.
(John 3:16) (Romans 10:9-13) (1 Timothy 2:4-6) (2 Peter 3:9).
Does God love all people? Yes
(John 3:16) (1 John 4:9-10).
Does God want all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth? Yes. Read (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
Does God want all men to come to repentance by believing in His Son Jesus? Yes. This is His will and desire for all men (John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40, 47) (2 Peter 2:9) (Luke 24:45-47).
Has Jesus ever sinned one time and broke any of Gods laws? No. Is Jesus sinless, perfect, flawless, and Holy? Yes. Read (John 1:29-36) (1 John 3:5) (1 Peter 1:18-19) (1 Peter 2:22) (2 Corinthians 5:21) (Hebrews 4:15) (Isaiah 53:9) (John 8:29) (Luke 1:35) (Matthew 1:18-25).
I only want to talk about Christ and him crucified. The death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus is all that matters. The fact that Jesus is The Son of God and that whomsoever believeth In Him shall never perish but have everlasting life. Jesus is The Savior of the whole world. Let’s stick to that and with that premise only for this is what’s true in the Holy Word of God. False teachers don’t do this.
They take the focus off these biblical truths and turn from them to their false teachings, theologies, and false doctrines. I only want to talk about the person of Jesus then they come along and say do you know God has already predestined everyone to heaven or hell before anyone is even born?
You see they just took the focus off Jesus and onto their own theology, false teachings, traditions, and doctrines of men. Jesus talked about people who would do this sort of thing in the Bible.
Jesus clearly said that people would believe in the traditions of men rather than listen to the Holy Word of God (Mark 7:1-13). Jesus is also the Living Word of God so this is also a revelation that there will be people who would rather listen to the traditions of men rather than believe and trust in Jesus. This was true of Jesus’ day and it is true of ours.
2 Peter 2:1 (NLT)
The Danger of False Teachers
But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.
