Beware of deceivers

In the times we live in, Christians must watch and be vigilant. Men of corrupt minds and enemies of cross of Christ, with counterfeit faith, have crept into the church secretly. Do not be surprised, some of them are already on some altars as pastors, teachers, preachers and evangelists. They appear as angels of light but are really agents of darkness. The marks of these deceivers include; they hold secret things of shame, walk in craftiness, handle the word deceitfully, walk and war after the flesh, look on the outward appearance, commend themselves, are very greedy of income and pose as righteous ministers. They seek occasion to glory, are very boastful and self-exalting, are experts in leading men away from God and speak presumptuously as they propagate their errors because they have no sense of righteousness. Remember, not all that glisters is gold. Today, you see these men preach on television, radio, pages of newspapers, and even in transport buses. They do not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh in ways that are clear. Such are deceivers and antichrists. They teach lies, live as sinners, are ignorant of spiritual things, compromise the truth, are greedy and lazy, deal falsely and destroy men through lies. They corrupt the truth, have a seared conscience, teach doctrines of demons, are faithless, hypocrites and cause divisions. By their fruits you shal1 know them; beware! We must abide in the true doctrines of Christ as written in the Bible; this is the antidote against them.
