Rejecting False Gospels | Acts 13:1-12 | World Upside Down
Description
The Lord has given Spirit-empowered, gospel-centered, God-glorifying Bible teachers to His church for the sake of human salvation and the preservation of sound doctrine.
(Ephesians 4:11-14)
But…
There are also false prophets spreading anti-gospel teachings with selfish motives, working in opposition to Jesus’ church and mission.
(2 Peter 1:21 ,2:1)
Therefore:
It is critical that the church is able to discern the difference and to reject whatever is not in accordance with biblical Christianity.
(1 John 4:1)

“The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost ‘unchristian’ today.” — Vance Havner
