2 Corinthians 11:10-15
False prophets can appear as ministers of light.
This is why it is so important for us to be able to “try” the spirits,
whether they be of God, in order to know what is genuine and what is counterfeit.

Ephesians 4:4-15
There is ONE Lord, ONE faith and ONE baptism.

We are to be anchored, rooted and grounded in the Word of God.
Here is yet another admonition for us not to be carried away by everything that comes along.

But rather, “try” the spirits.

Matthew 7:13-27
Jesus gives a solemn warning concerning false prophets who will appear as sheep, but are really wolves on the inside.

As sure as there is a genuine, there is a counterfeit!
False prophets will produce a fruit, which will allow us to be able to recognize them.

Verses 24-27 goes on to explain that those who hear and do the sayings of Jesus (which was the WORD of the Apostles) would be like the man who built his house upon a rock.
But, any who hear and do not build upon this rock would be like the man who built his house on sand.
Which house endured the storm?
The one built upon the rock, or course!
