Preachers- caution- secondary -views list*
💥Also note, these men have some useful videos, but use caution ⚠️ as having a wrong End Times view skews a lot of what they may talk about in conversations & in videos where they preach. New and semi new believers might get all mixed up about something they are saying, because they do not have a firm grip on end times as taught in Scripture. So it is best to avoid their other videos until then.
➡️ If you would like to study end times information, you can gain a solid grasp on it.
Even if others recommend his/their videos to you, I would just say thank you & avoid the videos... unless theyre linked on this site here, for particular purposes... because those have been reviewed and are linked here for specific reasons.
What is Essential and Secondary beliefs about?
End times views and other secondary matters while important, are not the main essentials of Christian faith. Essential beliefs reveal whether a group or person claiming to be a Christian is actually in a cult or false religion masqurading as Christian. That is where the seperation between biblical teaching and false teaching divides (1). It is why we can fellowship with someone who has a different secondary view, but usually we dont associate with them if their view affects our overall beliefs such as end times as it affects evangelism and veers from Scriptures clear teaching. It can confuse those who are new and growing believers, so we recommend avoidance until then.
I do believe end times views are important secondary matters because it affects the Gospel. That is why I verbally caution/steer you away from those folk noted above because they hold to an erroneous end times view. While I also do link to certian videos or links of theirs that are accurate and useful, it is because they hold to the essential core beliefs of biblical Christianity, (such as: who is God, who is Jesus, the Trinity, what is required to be saved, etc).
All that to say, dont go follow those folks online, but when you are solidly mature in the faith you will be able to discern well who is holding to biblical teachings from Scripture and who have strayed away to some other man made teaching that twists Scripture, and how to see and seperate erroneous views from biblical ones while utilizing some of that persons other material. They can mingle some of it subtly or overtly into their messages and you can get all confused. So just avoid them.
While true that they might still be Christian, but we do not need to go study into what false beliefs they hold to. We need to understand what Scripture actually teaches on that end times view first.
Another example of a secondary yet divisive view some hold to is baptism. Some incorrectly have been led to believe it is required for salvation and others also erroniously believe babies should be baptized.
Both of those topics have been addressed in our believers answers section.
