Chris.
False teachers have counterfeit faith and fight against the Truth. Very often the false teachers attempt to influence the people who are settled in their local Church. Instead of helping the local Church they try to draw people away from it. False teachers often talk about “further revelation” or “new revelation” or the established Church being “out of date”. We must stay away from these false teachers.
