16 Signs of a False Pastor: How to Spot a False Teacher: Exposing False Prophets with the Bible 

Yep! It was number 7 for me I got my phone out and immediately called my mom to tell her that this wasn’t the church for me. Luckily God pointed me in the right direction but I was sooo heart broken.

THIS - YES!! 7. You will know, because if you are a born-again believer, the HOLY SPIRIT will convict you and you probably will have an uneasy feeling of what they're doing.

WwwowwW. P h e w. THAT is so on point! Would you please check out this pastor, Michael Criswell, I am a discerner of spirits and God has spoke to me and told me to call him out, I want the perfect solution, I was thinking just leave it in God's hands but I want so desperately to send not Him, but his followers the perfect message. What would you recommend?

Awesome thanks

7 is a sure one. Those who claim to be "born again" when they accepted Jesus into their heart are false prophets. That is not how one is born again. The guy in this video is a false prophet. Bible believers are all false prophets. Why? Because the Church existed for 60 years before the first book of the bible was written and 370 yrs before the books of the Bible were put together and even then, it would be 1800yrs before the Bibles began to be printed and not everyone could afford to own one . Jesus established a Church with teachings and traditions and it it is those teachings and traditions that are recorded in the Bible. Therefore it is the Church we must listen too and not our own opinions of scripture. That Church is the Church that Jesus Christ established 2000yrs ago whom Jesus commissioned to go out and preach what He commanded them to and he promised to be with them until the end of the world. It was this Church that, who in the year 390 authorised the sacred books of the Bible as we know it today. Fact.

Everyone does. Not just Africans. 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 This great man [edit: I was actually listening to a different YT page of S.M. Lockridge’s sermon titled “That’s My King” when I read your comment on this page and wrote this (I’ve watched this vid earlier), and the Lockridge video kept playing-as I’ve set my pages to do-so my comment to you crossed over in my mind to make me think you were referring to his great sermon that I’m listening to now, he’s got a lot of great ones... I look for ones where people didn’t add music, just a pure sermon....and it looked to me like you ended your comment with “...spending days and nights listening to *this man*. It was slip of reading, a mistake on my part, but I think it was a happy slip-up...so I edit it now, but I maintain that what I *thought you said* was a great idea, about reading the Bible and then listening to him...] S. M. Lockridge (to whom I thought you were referring, and I’ll be going back to hear it all with complete focus) is one preacher that the world needs to hear every day, all great messages....he is for everyone, the world would be a whole lot different if everyone heard something he had to say every day. God’s Holding Pattern and Stumbling Over Simplicity were two other great ones I listened to today, timely and helpful for me, and I’ve more in queue on other pages. I see why they do it, but I don’t like how YT will reload different recommendations with every click. So, if I see something in recommendations that I really want to see, I open them all in separate tabs, so when they inevitably re-load them, they won’t disappear and make it hard to find them. That’s a very long way of saying that I accidentally commented on the wrong video, but I feel it’s a happy accident, so I left it, because this video is about watching out for false prophets, and though Lockridge was a preacher, not a prophet to my knowledge, imho and in the opinion of many, he was among the greats, and he was timeless in his sermons. You know a man like him would make a great dad, husband, son, brother, friend, pastor, employer, neighbor, etc.... We are all God’s family, and we’re all from Adam and Eve, through Noah. We all are related to Noah. Everyone alive on the face of earth has Noah for a multi-great grandfather, we just got different genetic expressions based on where our various lines lived for a long time, but we all have the same original genetic code/alphabet from which our bodies are made and our stories are written. We just use more or less of different parts of the same genetic code. ❤️

@@misskim2058 What you said made me think of The Adam's Family. Lol That was an old TV show.

Amen

More especially us South Africans

@@azaniajuicethwala5324 what's happening in Africa is very sad and I pray for Africans to stop being deceived by false Minister's who are using trickery to deceive the people. I'm in America and see enough of them here. They're all over the world making millions off of lying to the people. I believe in prosperity but they go way too far while our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are being. Persecuted for the faith in other parts of the world. False prophets in the western world have been faking miracles and giving false prophecies for decades and it's a huge disrespect to God.

Amen

If you're spending time in the word of God you will smell a fake pastor or prophet a mile away

Yay! I’m finally developing an ear for the truth and feel great about this.

Aaaaaammmmmmen!

What do you mean Antichrist agendas?

God bless

God have mercy on us. I just disconnected myself from them. Whether they are true only God knows but the things they talk about members is not good. Gossip after gossip.

Same here, we need to guidance of God and his Holy spirit to teach us about the truth.

If you aren't keeping the seventh day sabbath then you are are still deceived and preaching pagan doctrines. Only the Seventh Day Adventist are preaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the rest are teaching pagan doctrines. God has warned His people to come out of the sun day churches, Babylon, because of their false and pagan doctrines. Babylon comes from Babel which means confusion, where God confused all of the languages. The sun day churches are The Daughters of The Harlot and the Harlot is the RCC and also The Beast of Rev 13. So please come out of them before it is too late for you and your family.

@@frick6946 Fran that verse is talking about the ceremonial laws not the Ten Commandments, you notice it says that were a shadow of things to come and the Ten Commandments were never a shadow of things to come. Jesus sumed up the Ten Commandments in two verses. The first was to love the Lord you God with all of your heart and the second was like into it to love your neighbors as yourself. If you keep these two commandments you will be keeping all ten of them because the first four tells us how we should treat God and the last six tells us how we should treat our neighbors.

@@ebbygshreve9577 I never said it was talking about the 10 commandments, so I don't know why you said that. My point is that no one should judge anyone else in how they eat, or how they drink, or when they honor the Sabbath etc. I said nothing abut the 10 commandments

@@frick6946 Yes Fran, but the Sun day Churches try to use that as saying that the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross which is a lie.

I’m not a prophet but I know we are in the last of the last days

Amen Brother.

Same. Mtt. 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh. Kjv

@@JesusSaves194 yes we are in the last days but there's a difference between that and someone saying they know exactly when the end of the world will happen

YES THE END IS FOR GOD AND GOD ONLY TO DECIDE MORTAL SINNER FALLIBLE MANKIND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE END WILL COME ITS A CON GAME DO NOT LISTEN OR CONTRIBUTE TO THEM THEY ARE SATANIC DEMONS MONEYLOVERS CONMEN GOD I LOVE WORSHIP TRUST AND PRAISE YOU AMEN 🙏❤️🌎

You have to be careful not to judge people by that. Some preachers are actually so good for the Father's will, that he richly blesses them. And those many blessings appear or are explained by Satan as greed or theft from the church but aren't.

Rock Hill Farm Downeast, Maine I think he was talking about Joel Osteen or Kenneth Copeland... 😬😬😬

@@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia dont be deceived Paul Peter Matthew James Elija Elishah John the Baptist what do they have as prophets in their days God has not changed dont be deceived by motivational speakers

There are Pastors and preacher who have business too add to the work of God for example Christian television channel/records that help spread the Gospel , for example my churches bishop , he is rich not for his glory but for Gods and why is he rich? Because God helped him financially in order to increase and help the work of God all around the world. If they’re wealthy look at their intentions of it’s not for Gods Glory and to show off then they’re not of God

@jewels grace Miss Grace, there aint much grace in calling folks names, when they are expressing their concern.

I understand...

What do y'all mean? I don't want to dig up harsh memories but maybe it could be enlightening.

@@nobody-zf8dq I don't know about them but I grew up in a Pentecostal denomination and the women would grab me and shake me trying to make me shout is what they called it and they would hit my mouth jerking me trying to make me speak in tongues. I felt really uncomfortable but I believed I had to speak in an unknown language to be saved because that's what I was taught. Preachers would call me to the pulpit and prophesy to me things that wasn't true. A few of them wouldn't even begin preaching until we have enough offerings. I was very young and naive during that time and it took me years to understand it was all unbiblical at least in my opinion.

So sorry you had that experience. Jesus never abuses, just man.

Hey brother. If you stay close to God it won't be hard to spot a false teacher. Especially on tv. May God bless you.

God bless!

Same to me

God sees your heart just ask for wisdom this was a great video

The older KJV’s are better anyway. There are shenanigans going on in the printing of all versions of Bibles (as many know) But even a new printing of the original KJV can be altered. New Bibles have been known to have altered it missing bits of verses, sometimes reversing meaning, and even entire chapters are gone in some. I stick to strictly older ones myself. Nothing wrong with a good second hand Bible.

The MyBible app has a built-in Strong's Concordance that you can check the meanings of the words used in the Bible. You can compare it to your Bible to see if it checks out. The best version to use is the old KJV.

Thanks, Christopher, I have a concordance, but an app to looo it up quickly would be great. I agree the old KJV, and the oldest copy possible is the best...and not one put out by the OES. JW’s, or Catholics, etc.; they all had reasons for altering them, depending on publisher, so even some old KJV’s have dodgy alterations from certain groups. The latter alters the 10 Commandments, lest their idolatry become obvious, for example. They usually remove the idolatry commandment and split coveting into two commandments to cover for it, or split another commandment to cover for it. They use Mary as a middleman, a big no-no, as most people know. Even addressing her for “intercession” isn’t just kicking Jesus aside from him being the one and only intercessor, but it’s necromancy, too. Of course the list of Biblical no-nos they do is quite lengthy. The first of those 3 has an inverted pentagram stamped on their covers, a deep look into their organization would let someone know it is to be avoided. They’re an arm of Freemasonry, which is Luciferian at the top degrees 33° and above, their lower members don’t know it until they get the invite to join that degree and do the ritual, and in the US, Washington DC is the headquarters for them. They’ll deny it, but they take a death oath to deny anything they do from day 1, even a first degree, so that’s to be considered. I saw it myself in one of their handbooks for 33°...there are higher degrees that even the 33° don’t know about. 33° and below are the non-secret levels. They think they’re at the top. It is written and illustrated, the oath to Lucifer, and the second part of the oath is while one can claim to be anything one chooses publicly-Christian, atheist, Hindu, Muslim, pagan, Buddhist, whatever, they must otherwise work to destroy and defile the name of Jesus Christ, and to pour down a steady stream of vilification upon Christianity”. The diversity of being whatever they want, both publicly and to their own families, just makes it look like all viewpoints are being represented out there in the world, and keeps their cover fairly intact. Among the 33°s are world leaders and politicians, heads of major corporations, top celebrities, even Walt Disney, who also helped set up NASA, which is also set up and run by 33° Freemasons, even their so-called “astronauts” must be that level, or OES for women. Good to know that they’ve taken a death oath to lie to you. Both Disney and NASA use all the symbology to flaunt it to the public, and only upper levels know. No surprise they hired Bill Nye the Lying Guy to promote their disinformation. He was a washed up comendian with a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, but they got him because they needed someone geeky (and they got their “Breakfast Club” of disinfo agents, token representatives from varying demographics, Neil. deGrasse Tyson, Machio Kaku, and they had the replacement Stephen Hawking, the perfect disabled genius who is said to have died fairly recently...also who is not a bioidentical match to the Stephen Hawking who got ALS. Not too hard to find a doppelgänger, and a few injections at the right nerve sites can create the same effect. Stephen Hawking’s name was just too priceless to not exploit after he died decades ago. I know it sounds crazy but once you look at it it’s really obvious, embarrassingly obvious. I absolutely believe in miracles and exceptions to health issues, but no one with ALS has lived that long, and the original Stephen had his bottom teeth worn down to stubs, rotted. Aside from the other bioidentical mismatches, the replacement had 4 long, discolored lower teeth that jutted up for all to see. Now, I know teeth can heal, anything with a root can draw up nurtrients and heal, and people do indeed heal their teeth with time, proper nutrition to get the required minerals, and patience, but if he were really writing all those books, one would think he’d have some bit of money, and he would have had much better dental care...that is, if people really cared about him, and having your bottom teeth rotted out, the least you would do is replace them with new prosthetic teeth, or let them be, but you wouldn’t likely have them give you long, discolored prosthetic teeth that were also in poor condition, would you? I always wondered if he sat there on stage during public appearances, thinking that if the crowd that came to see him where the geniuses most of them thought they were, they would notice he’s not the same guy, maybe rush the stage and rescue him. And everyone sat there and believed that whatever the computer voice told them was coming from the silent man in the wheelchair. How easily people are deceived. Anyway, they were all hired to promote Scientism, which is the dogmatic belief in anything presented as science, regardless of the utter ridiculousness of the claim, the lack of evidence, or the presence of mountains of contradictory evidence to the claim...especially so long as it supports the Luciferian agenda and erroneously undermines the Bible, but that part is unknown to the average Scientism-ist, they all just believe anything if someone is wearing a lab coat or says they’re a scientist, no questions asked. And they pound their textbooks harder than any Bible gets thumped in the Bible Belt. In one breath they mock people who trust the Bible having read it, studied it, and tested it, just as the Bible says to do, claiming that it’s “just written by a bunch of guys a long time ago, no evidence to support it”, and they claim that people are believing it without questioning it, which isn’t true; and then in the next breath, they point to their textbooks and say “it is written”, and that is their proof of anything presented as “science”. They will claim that it cannot be put in a textbook if it isn’t true, and yet when a falsehood is revealed, scientists will always say “we used to believe that, but now we know better“. They will rationalize it by saying “it’s the best evidence we had at the time“. And then they will brush it off and insist that their newest discovery is the truth this time... until they get new evidence again that is presented in a way they can’t cram under their ever-burgeoning rug of nonsense-covering. Too much info sharing, they cannot dismiss it or hide it like they used to. Point out the hypocrisy of accepting it just because it is written, or just because so-and-so said so, and you’ll be met with a glazed-over blank look, or rage. One or the other. They really don’t seem to get it. THEIR science gods are infallible in their eyes. And yet they will insist they do not idolize them. Sure. And Catholics don’t idolize Mary. Not at all. Definitely the Freemasons are Luciferian in root, avoid all Bibles put out by any arm of Freemasonry. OES is just an arm that allows females. Mormons don’t seem to know they were founded by a Freemason, even though the symbols are sewn into their underwear and chiseled in stone on their buildings, and their founder’s family was not only known for their con games, but his dad and granddad were Freemasons as well. They even wear the little apron in their rituals and upon burial, theirs symbolizes the fig leaves from Adam and Eve (has fig leaf design on it), and I guess they also fail to realize that wearing the fig leaf symbolizes hiding your lies and transgressions from God. God was angry with that, and re-clothed them properly before banishing them from His sight. Anyway, I digress, but I sometimes leave a few points for a seeker to later read and know. I haven’t found an issue with a Gideon’s KJV Bible as yet, though. I have a couple of old ones I got second hand; all my Bibles are second hand and old. The Gideons expect their Bibles to be taken from motel and hotel rooms, they’ll replace them (I bought mine, of course, old ones). Sure, it’s wrong to steal a Bible, but it is the most stolen book (and the most purchased book), and their stance is they’re glad someone wanted it and probably really needed it. They’d probably send one to anyone who asks. I’ve heard they used to, lots of churches try to give them out. Dollar stores have them, but I wouldn’t trust a new printing of the old version these days. Anyway, thanks for that input, I’m checking it out now, the Strong’s concordance is a plus. Like the word “creature”. Teach the Gospel to every creature. Everywhere else in the Bible, a “creature” isn’t just a human. It made me ponder...animals communicate with us, and as the Bible says, even the stones sing of the glory of God, all of creation does. We needn’t necessarily “teach” them, as they already know, and yet, there may be something to communicating it to all living things, a layer or two that will be known later to others, plenty of studies that they know when they’re being addressed. Jesus talked to a tree, I unabashedly talk to all living things as well, have for a long time before beginning to read it. And like the tree, they also respond. Watch animals and plants, especially over time, when you speak of God. Sometimes when I have the Scourby Bible reading playing, all my critters gather close. Just that one adjustment changes things. My niece is studying old Greek, but she has no idea how I’m going to be asking her lots of questions in the future. I just know I’ll have detailed questions as I continue to study it. I love how science right now is proving it true in exceptional ways that weren’t possible before as well, genetically, in physics, geology, etc. The more I read it, or hear it read, the more I wish I’d begun earlier. So many nuances I could have been gathering and culling from it. Better late than never:)

Same. I was following a false teacher, but God graciously led me out. The one main thing that helped me see was diving deep into the bible and then I started seeing things that he was saying were slightly changed from the actual bible scripture. At first it's very disappointing and u may get sad thinking is anyone true? But if u dive deep into the bible and rely on God things will start to turn around. You fight thr enemy with the word of God. God bless ❤

My pleasure! All glory to God!

Anyone, who talks of rapture vs repenting from sin/getting saved, are false prophets. The rapture is at Jesus's second coming and most will be repenting way too late at that time.

The Messianic Jews...Anything that talks about False Prophets.... I JUST REALIZED ALL OF IT HAS KEPT ME AWAY FROM MY BIBLE.... I’ll read your article and PRAY.....think I’m causing myself problems and I need to keep it simple, and not confuse myself... Thank you...
