The following 25 minute warning by Dr. Voddie Baucham says a lot about false prophets, as the Bible speaks about them. His statements were made in terms of the following points:
- In the Sermon On The Mount, Jesus exhorted that His followers examine the fruits of teachers to distinguish the true from the false – fruits are explained by Dr. Baucham
- Dr. Baucham emphasized the necessity of knowing scripture as it is what preachers and teachers are to be explaining; and if you do not understand what is on the pages of scripture, then there is no way you can identify a false teacher
- He explains what testing a teacher means and reads a couple of brief passages of scripture
- He explains ‘judging’ of a teacher [the ‘judging’ that we are not supposed to do, in Matthew 7, is the judging of another’s motives, only God knows those; however, we are to judge their conduct, which is fruit of their beliefs – I got that definition from other studies, not Baucham’s words]
- Ephesians 5 tells us to expose and to flee from false prophets [this blog exposes many false prophets, to learn of them, see the following CATEGORIES: Prosperity Preachers; Mysticism; Beth Moore; and Brian McLaren
