False Teachers....Signs of the Times

Saints in the process of STANDING:

2 Peter 2:1-3 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

Before the apostle Peter penned these words he very carefully prefaced them with some authoritative statements;

2 Peter 1:17-18 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased"-- and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. (EMPHASIS ADDED)

I am pasting below a link to an article that is refuting a positional article written by a "famous" teacher of God's Word. Please examine it very carefully and see how there is very little "authoritativeness" to the positional article.......and then pay close attention to how the writer of the refuting article uses the scriptures to refute, not allegory........it's all about authority.

Jack Van Impe Responds to the Prewrath Rapture

Remember........part of being equipped in the difficult days that lie ahead is to recognize false teachings.......so that you are not led astray. The enemy will use anything or anyone to bring about "misleading" of the saints......as was warned about by Jesus;

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

And Paul;

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

It's all about AUTHORITY!

Whose AUTHORITY do you plan on STANDING in?
