E 1.5.14 : Beware of Christian Cults, False Prophets and False Christs
BEWARE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED BELOW !
A. CHRISTIAN CULTS, FALSE PROPHETS
KEEP AWAY FROM CHRISTIAN CULTS (= SPURIOUS CHURCHES) LIKE (For Example) :
JEHOVAH’S WITNESS
THEY DONOT BELIEVE IN TRINITY. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DIVINITY / DIETY OF THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST
THEY DO NOT ACCEPT THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURES. THEY ARE TAUGHT ALSO TO BASE THEIR FAITH ON THE BOOKS WRITTEN BY THE LEADERS / FOUNDER OF ‘JEHOVAH’S WITNESS’
THEY ANNOUNCE THE TIME OF SECOND COMING OF CHRIST ( AS THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REVEALED TO THEM ) & HAVE WAITED FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD & ARE WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD ON PARTICULAR DATES
Read what is mentioned in the Bible, about the timing of the second coming of Jesus:
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man is coming – Matthew 25:13
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. – Matthew 24:23 – Also read v 24 & v25
JESUS ONLY
DOES NOT ACCEPT THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE = Church of Christ
DOES NOT ACCEPT THE DEITY OF CHRIST
MORMON – Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
They believe the Bible to be the Word of God, as far as it is translated correctly. They also believe the Book of Mormon to be the Word of God.
They believe in Baptism for the dead
B. FALSE CHRISTS
For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many. – Matthew 24:5
For many will come in My name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. – Mark 13:6
