How To Spot a False Teacher (3 of 7)
Series: Jude
Bob Ingle
Jude 8-11
Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, John Hagee, Jim Bakker, Rob Bell, Kenneth Copeland. These are just a handful of the most famous, and I believe, more obvious false teachers within the Christian church today.

...not when he attacks the church, but when he joins the church.

...not when he burns a bible, but when he pretends to preach from it.
The Bible repeatedly warns the church to expect false teachers and be ready for them when they come. Maybe the most surprising thing about false teachers in the church today is that we continue to be surprised by them.
We're in a series called 'Contend' from the book of Jude because Jude is imploring the church of his day and now the church of our day to defend, protect, secure, and preserve the Good News of Jesus Christ. It's as if this church didn't know these counterfeit Christians and bogus believers were present until Jude infor ...
