¥No false teaching (continued):
–1John 4:1-3 (NIV) Dear friends, do not believe every
spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they
are from God, because many false prophets
have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come
in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that
does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is
coming and even now is already in the world.
–Galatians 1:6-9 (NIV) I am astonished that you are so
quickly deserting the one who called you by
the grace of Christ and are turning to a
different gospel– 7 which is really no gospel at
all. Evidently some people are throwing
you into confusion and are trying to
pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the
one we preached to you, let him be
eternally condemned! 9 As we have already
said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be
eternally condemned!
