¥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!
