“FALSE TEACHERS"
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
I John 1:1 records
that there are false
teachers who appear
to be religious. The
Bible warns that one
must “check them out
or be misled.
Matthew 7:15,16
records that false
teachers will appear
to be in sheep’s
clothing, but inside
they are ferocious
wolves. They must be
tested.
Matthew 15:9 records
that some false
teachers lead others
falsely by teaching
the traditions
(rules and commands)
of man.
I Timothy 4:1-3
states that in
latter times some
will depart from the
faith and turn into
false teachers.
II Timothy 4:3 gives
forewarning
concerning those
promoting false
teachings, by
rejecting sound
doctrine and seeking
that which is not
God’s.
Titus 1:11 says that
some will teach
false doctrine in
order to obtain
dishonest gain.
II Peter 2:1-3 gives
warning of those who
will secretly
promote false
teachings.
Most well meaning
Church going people
are not very much
“into the Bible”.
Thus, they are not
able to “spot” false
doctrine (erroneous,
inaccurate,
improper, not valid,
incorrect, mistaken,
untrue, faulty,
wrong, dishonest,
and misleading),
Most put a great
amount of trust in
their Sunday School
Teacher and Preacher
as being truthful
religious leaders.
In fact, some are
very highly insulted
if a friend of
another religious
persuasion suggests
that it is possible
that they may be
“being misled”.
However John 12:48
teaches that it will
be by the Word Of
God that will judge
us on the last day
(Romans 14:12).
Thus, one should
become a serious
student of the Word
Of God in an attempt
to KNOW what God
wants us to believe
and do to be saved.
Possibly one of the
most common
erroneous doctrines
promoted today is
“How One Is Saved”.
Many promote a false
doctrine by
teaching, Just ask
Jesus into one’s
heart and tell Him
(Jesus) you are
sorry for your sins.
This is normally
referred to as the
“Sinners’ Prayer”.
Don’t get short
changed by following
this doctrine. The
Bible teaches that
one must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (Acts
16:31) 2) Repent Of
Sins (Acts 17:30)
3) Confess Christ
Audibly (Acts 8:37)
4) Be Baptized In
Water (Acts 2:38)
5) Live A Christian
Life (Acts 14:22) 6)
Be Active In The
Church (Acts 2:47)
