False teachers & preachers:
Wolves in sheep clothing, seeking to decieve and lead astray from truth and from God.
What seperates biblical Christianity from false teachers? For starters they deny one or more of the
Essentials of Christianity revealed in Scripture.
The page provides as a "quick check" for vetting a teacher, preacher or ministry when you are browsing online or someone recommends a video of a pastor or ministry. If you look them up here before allowing their "teaching" into your mind, you will be better off, since you can reject ones on the false teachers list and embrace ones on the biblical teachers list.
And it helps you politely decline material sent by those who follow false teachers. It additionally helps you know who among those you know or meet that you should "mark and avoid" interacting with as a "believer". But doesnt mean you cannot explain why you wont listen to or read their stuff, since 1. They might ask, and 2. It can help shed light on and reveal truth to them.
If they do ask "why" you can send/provide a link to a particular video or even a link on our site that explains why the teacher or preacher should be avoided (even if it turns out that person is their pastor), regardless if they reject what you shared with them. If they are not open to truth and appreciate you sharing the info (so they can turn their back on it and turn to truth), mark and avoid that person; Scripture says to not fellowship with them.

New believers are easy prey for false teachers. And people, (no matter how long theyve been in a church), who do not read and do not know the Bible, and those who do not know what they should be looking for in a Church, it's beliefs or in a Pastor, just assume anyone who comes along and says something about "Jesus" the "Bible", "Christianity" or leads a "church" is a Christian or Christianity, but that is far from the truth. It was far from the truth in old times and it is even further from the truth today. With globalization, the internet, and more false teachings than ever... we have to be very discerning, and we cannot do that if we do not know the Scriptures.
People fall for the "wolves in sheep clothing" because they embrace what
seems legit or possibly sounds right; unaware that it is flat out false, a twisting of Scripture, or subtle deception.
Satan has been doing this since Eden. Trying to decieve people by his subtle
doctrines of demons. It is nothing new.
It is easier today for false teachers to dupe and decieve people into unbiblical teaching because a person is either 1. a new believer who doesnt know better (doesnt know the content of the Bible), 2. a weak believer who doesnt read Scripture outside of church (so they know little of its contents), 3. Are a false convert, (many claim to he a Christian but follow a false gospel and false Jesus but are idolators whom God will weed out on the Day of Judgment), they are ones Scriptire speaks about are those who "like their ears tickled"... they go after whatever teachings they prefer and reject the truth that is actually biblical. or 4. Are someone who is okay with "religious stuff" and like benefits of it (but are basically just unsaved people like those in #3 above).
This is why it is vital to make sure you are actually saved and are following the truth God has revealed in Scripture.
It is why we need to have clarity on these issues. Scripture tells us over and over to beware of and reject these false teachers.
⭐Combat error by reading the Word daily; personal dedicated quiet time with God, to get educated, to know truth from error, spot red flags, follow truth and be obedient to it.
Errors of Charismaticism is part of the reason the prosperity &
word of faith cult's false teachings invaded modern Churches.

*Beware of false prosperity gospel preachers.
All of these kinds of charlatans are only after your money.
Satan not only runs all false world religions and systems but even outside of biblical protestantism [Christianity], there are false religions masqurading as Christian. From Roman Catholic church to Orthodox to Mormons, JW's, 7th Day adventists and ither groups that pervert truth, sell a false gospel, false Word of God and keeps them in bondage to sin and Satan. They do not have the truth, do not know it, are led by their love for sin, and need to be freed by Christ. They need Salvation.
Besides many of the heretical movements noted, you also need to stear clear of the
Seeker Sensitive movement and ensure you are not sucked into it either.
This youtube playlist examines false teachers and teachings to be discerning about. It has solid ministries exposing errors and heresies you need to have a solid understanding about, to avoid them.
As you grow in faith, Study what Scripture says on the Essential and Secondary matters, and become wise to stand against false teachings like: prosperity, false gospel, false end times views, falsely embracing lgbt, false "churches" preaching a false Jesus, false God, false Scriptures, twisting of Scriptures, and a false Salvation message, which have invaded Christiandom.
Links to understand the above items are further on in the website to help you mature in the faith, but is too early for you to examine right now.
While many may have grown up in the "dens of demons" false churches or were added to them by door knocking cultists who decieve people into Satan's trap unaware, know there is still hope for these people. There is still hope for them to be saved and called out of false churches and into the true Church of God. God will call them out of error and into salvation himself by His Word and the Gospel messengers of truth (the Redeemed). And once these folk are saved they will flee from the false and run to true biblical churches. So when you encounter those trapped by Satan all you can do is pray for them, pray it is God's will for them to be saved and be given eyes to see the truth in the Word and flee from the false. Pray God will use you to share some information with them to help plant seeds to lead them out of darkness into light. But if theyre unsaved, they're drawn by their lusts and preferences of their idolatry and adultery (not following the true God & His Word), so you can only reach them with if God opens their eyes. Until they're saved they will remain spiritually blind, and truth found in these resources will be rejected by them. However, if God is drawing them, then they will become open to examining our claims of truth and investigate what we share. Otherwise they will stay closed to it even if they peek at it momentarilly. So...Just plant seeds of truth, be faithful with the Word, and leave the rest to God.
YOU though, you investigate all of the things in these links so you do not fall prey to false teachers, and YOU, you be faithful and read the Bible daily all your life and obey what it says.
God bless
Verses
Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus says, “Beware of the FALSE PROPHETS, who come to you in SHEEP’S CLOTHING but INWARDLY ARE RAVENOUS WOLVES. You will know them by their FRUITS. A GOOD TREE produces GOOD FRUIT, and a BAD TREE produces BAD FRUIT. A Good Tree can’t produce BAD FRUIT, and a BAD TREE can’t produce GOOD FRUIT. So every Tree that does NOT produce Good Fruit is chopped down and thrown into the Fire (Hell). Yes, just as you can Identify a Tree by its Fruit, so you can IDENTIFY PEOPLE BY THEIR ACTIONS.”
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 “It isn’t my responsibility to Judge Outsiders, but it certainly IS your Responsibility to JUDGE those INSIDE THE CHURCH who are Sinning. GOD WILL JUDGE those on the OUTSIDE; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the Evil Person from among you.”
1 John 4:1 “Dear friends, do NOT believe everyone who CLAIMS to SPEAK BY THE SPIRIT. You must TEST them to see if the spirit they have comes FROM GOD (or the devil). For there are MANY FALSE PROPHETS IN THE WORLD.”
John 7:24 “Do Not JUDGE according to Appearance, but JUDGE WITH RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.”
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 the Scriptures say, “You must remove the Evil Person from among you.”
"For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." 2 Cor 11:13-15
If A Preacher / Teacher is NOT Correctly Teaching Essential Christian Doctrine (the True Gospel of Jesus Christ, etc.) and the Teaching is keeping people focused on this Life & on the Broad Path to Hell, OR if they are Prophesying Falsely (Deut 13:1-18, Deut 18:20-22), we are to “MARK THEM” (Name Names of False Teachers & Deceivers)— of which Paul did 8 TIMES in 2 Timothy.
Romans 16:17-18 “MARK THEM which cause DIVISIONS & OFFENCES CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE which you have learned; and AVOID them. STAY AWAY from them. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own Personal Interests. By SMOOTH TALK and GLOWING WORDS THEY DECEIVE INNOCENT PEOPLE.”
We are NOT to Tolerate False Teaching— Jesus didn’t (Rev 2:2-3,6). Jesus warned us MANY Times to BEWARE of False Teachers & False Prophets (Matt 24:23-26, 2 Tim 4:3-4, 2 Cor 11:13-15)
Matthew 24:11 Jesus says, “MANY FALSE PROPHETS will appear and will Deceive MANY people.”
If a certain Teacher continually Teaches error, it would be very UNLOVING if we didn’t Warn others (like Jesus, Peter, Paul, etc.) of the Dangers of these False Teachers, who are keeping people on the Broad Path leading to Hell. Acts 20:26-32; Gal 1:6-9; 2 Tim 2:17-18, Eph 5:11, Ezek 3:17-19
(Place ‘Mouse’ over the Scriptures)
FALSE TEACHER SCRIPTURES—
Matt 7:15-20, Matt 24:4-5, Matt 24:11, Matt 24:23-26, Mark 13:22, Acts 20:29-32, Rom 16:17-18, 1 John 4:1-6, 2 Peter 2:1-3, 1 Tim 4:1,2 Tim 4:3-4, Titus 1:10-11,Gal 1:6-12, 2 Cor 11:13-15, Col 2:8, Col 2:18, 2 John 1:10-11,Matt 16:4, 2 Pet 2:18, Matt 7:21-23, Amos 8:11, 1 Tim 6:8-10, Jude 1:1-17, Deut 13:1-18, Deut 18:20-22, Jer 14:13-15, Jer 23:1-40, Rev 2:2-3, Rev 2:6
Proverbs 14:12 “ There is a way which SEEMS RIGHT to a man, but its END is the way of DEATH.”
We instead should be constantly Examining the Scriptures to see if what a Bible Teacher or Preacher is saying is True, that goes for here at SO4J-TV too. (Read – Acts 17:11)
Warning others of False Teachers is for the Safety of ALL, so that we do not become Deceived (Rev 12:9, Heb 3:13) and be Led Astray (2 Cor 11:13-15, 2 John 1:10-11, Jude 1:1-17). Jesus Warned us about a Great Deception in the End Times (Matt 24:11), it is here, Right Now (2 Tim 4:3-4, 1 Tim 4:1). There are MANY Preachers who Preach a Feel Good gospel which keeps people on the BROAD PATH (Matt 7:13-14), and focused on this Temporal Life (2 Cor 4:17-18, Gal 1:6-12) vs what Jesus taught us – Luke 9:23-24; Matt 10:37-39.(1)

Reminder: If your Bible focused Pastor doesn't recommend a yt channel or ministry, then just like with books... just stick within the boundaries of whats taught in your local church!

*😱 52% of protestant churches now believe in the
prosperity gospel according to 2023 Lifeway Research. That shows there's something
radically wrong within Christiandom today, something very very wrong.
Make sure you vet a church really well before visiting or joining one today.
*Here she is implying Jesus was really from Satan when He said to take up your cross.
"If any man would follow me let him DENY HIMSELF and take up his cross."
Matthew 16:24
Wolves say things that the flesh wants to hear. Avoid false teachers and false preachers.
Scripture warns about them. Their desires are not righteousness but to lure fleshly sinful desires of their followers to lead them into darkness and away from the light.
*Their own eyes
*Ear tickling
*Gravitate to lusts sin
"For the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned aside to myths."
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)
Self Examination
As to professing Christians, it isnt only preachers abd teachers who are unsaved living a hypocritical sham show, it is also those who are in the pews who claim Christ but do not even know Him. They are idolators following a god and jesus they prefer but have not the Real one, nor the tge real salvation.
They are like Judas. Doesnt matter if they are in a false church or group that claims to be Christian, or if they themselves claim to be one. This is why everyone needs to know the truth about Christianity, know the Bible, know the God and Jesus ut reveals, know the essentials of salvation laid out in Scripture, and what the Gospel is. Jesus warned about this maby times. Exposed apoatasy, revealed truth, pounts people to it and the Gospel, and why Scripture tells us to examine ourselves to make sure we really are saved. So stop being lazy and be a Berean. Search the Scriptures and make sure you havent followed subtle or outright doctrines of demons, a false god, false jesus, a false gospel & religion masqurading as Christianity, because it literally is of eternal importance.
If you followed, listen to, embrace or defend any of the false teachers exposed in this list, [including the listed of fraudulant religions masqurading as Christian] you need to repent, and turn to truth. Flee them and run to Christ. Read the Bible & know it well, so no one can ever decieve you again.
