We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Wish I could say things have improved in the past few years since these heretics spoke their truth, but sadly they have not.

When emailing asking for prayer for the recently arrested Iranian attorney of Pastor Yousef, I received this reply:

"YOU TURN HIM LOOSE, AND DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM OR HARM HIM WHATEVER, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, DEVIL. YOU HEAR US----YOU LET HIM GO NOW!!!"

I never cease to be amazed.

yes, the real litmus test is "Who do you said that I am?"

there's only ONE Jesus who saves and HE is the One in history according to Scripture who is God in the flesh, who paid for our sins and had the wrath of God poured on HIM in our places, who shed his sinless blood and rose again from the dead bodily from the grave 3 days later.

Anyone who is espousing to a Jesus of their imaginings has a Jesus who cannot save anyone because false Jesus' don't EXIST. They are powerless, and thus cannot bridge the gap man so desperately needs to be reconciled to a Holy, righteous and just GOD.
Also, God gives us HIS SON not some counterfeit. He gives us the real deal.

ali---hold fast to the Lord Jesus my sister. We know that Jesus even warned us of MANY coming "in my name" will deceive MANY"
