Beware of those who seem to have spiritual gifts, but their life does not reflect the fruits of a truly born-again person.
Beware of those who have not turned from all willful sin, who are not abiding in obedience to the Gospel.
Beware of those who are going to churches that are not proclaiming the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Beware of those who attend churches that do not believe Jesus Christ will return to this earth and rule for 1000 years.
Beware of those who do not believe in water baptism by immersion after believing in Jesus and repenting-ref Acts 2:38; Lk 7:29,30. We must repent of all sin if we are to be saved.
Beware of the doctrine that does not believe the Rapture comes prior to the Tribulation.
The Bible tells us, THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS…AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES, AND ALL KNOWLEDGE; AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH, SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY (which is love), I AM NOTHING-1 Cor 13:1,2. Note the words, SPEAK WITH TONGUES…HAVE NOT LOVE. SPEAK WITH TONGUES…I AM NOTHING.
This verse shows us that a person may speak with tongues, yet if he does not have love, he is nothing. In other words, he is not saved even though he speaks with tongues. Tongues are not a sign of salvation as some incorrectly teach by misusing Scripture. Some even go so far as to say, if a person does not speak in tongues, he cannot be saved. God forbid. In making such a statement, he is saying that some of the greatest ministers and evangelists of this century are not saved. He is saying that some of the finest scholars of Bible prophecy are not saved. It is written, WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM-Mt 7:20. A person’s fruits are the evidence of his salvation, not speaking in tongues. Many speak in tongues, but their lack of love, bad fruits, hardness to correction from God’s Word, and other sins testify they are not walking with God. Often such people also give false prophecies that sound nice, but are in direct contradiction to God’s Word. They mislead those that follow them; they lead these people down the road to hell. They deceive those that do not have a good understanding of the Scriptures. They expound false doctrines and false teachings. Beware.
I thought is interesting article to know, it sound like sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
