I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. - Galatians 1: 6-9 (SV)
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1: 4 (ESV)
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, - 1Timothy 4: 1 (ESV)
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. - Acts 20: 28-30
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.- 2Peter 2: 1-3 (ESV)
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. - 2Timothy 4: 3-4 (ESV)
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. - 2Corinthians 11: 13-15 (ESV)
Look at this list of Scripture! This is not even a complete listing of the warnings to us about false teaching and prophecy. We are to stand idly by at all. We are not to turn a blind eye with a wink a nod and a "judge not." Just look at the four sets of Scriptures from the key verses today. In Titus, he is addressing anyone who would seek a leadership role in the church. Deacons, elders or pastors. Not only must we hold firm to the trustworthy Word as taught but we must be prepared to rebuke those who contradict it. This is not optional beloved. As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ I am commanded to rebuke those that would preach a different Gospel. I have seen people proclaim we are all on the same team and that is simply not true. If you do not preach the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ I am not on your team. More importantly, you are not on His. Unity is not a Christian catch phrase. It does not mean we all hold hands and sing kumbya while skipping down the broad path that leads to destruction. It means we call a devil a devil and refuse to associate with him.
