2 Peter 2:1-3

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”


O how we have to be careful today. Many false prophets and wolves in sheep's clothing are about to destroy the Lord's churches.
God's Word is clear. There is only one gospel. The gospel taught to us in His Word. No other gospel, no matter how good it sounds, will do. Salvation by the His free gift of grace through the faith He has given us in Him. Praying a sinners prayer at an “old fashion alter” will not do. Works by the hands of ones self will never amount to anything. Our salvation and our life after salvation must be all of God or it is nothing!!!
This doctrine of works by man and this doctrine of man pulling himself up by his own boot straps is satanic. The very doctrines that satan believes can put him on the same plain as his creator. What a shame that God's people and our Lord's churches would fall for such a false teaching.
Those that are teaching these things are only out for self gratification. The numbers of church members and money in the church coffers and their own pockets is the lust that drive such false teachings.
O child of God, follow not after the doctrines of devils. Look to Christ and His commandments. Follow God's Word!!! Try the spirits. Study to shew thyself approved unto God.


Praise ye the Lord!!!
