Hey BEAT family! It is my SINCERE desire that you watch this entire video. I know it's long but I PROMISE you that you will truly understand my heart on this issue. If you click off too soon you'll only get part of the story. So, please do watch it all the way through so you can hear my heart on this issue of false teachers and false teaching. Let me know your thoughts!

When I first started attending a new church, the pastor said something I remember to this day: He said, “ Don’t ever blindly accept my preaching as solid truth without researching the scriptures for yourself. I might misspeak, or misread a passage or interpret it incorrectly. Don’t base your salvation on my teaching, but on the teaching of the Bible. I am human and can make mistakes, but the Bible is always true.”

I always lean on the dollar analogy. There are people who’s job is to detect fake dollar bills. They don’t study all the different fakes, the become so knowledgeable of the details of a real dollar bill that the fake is evident. We must become so knowledgeable of God’s true word, strengthen our connection with God that when we are approached with false teachings, the Holy Spirit reveals it to us.

[bonajab]

Piper is not saying that you are saved by works. He is say that if you don't produce Spiritual fruit, i.e. works, you never were saved. This is exactly what James says in chapter 2.

[natayarichardson]

The Bible Project definitely sparked my desire to read the Word of God. It is an EXCELLENT tool to start your Bible journey, which so many Christians lack. I started from the beginning then watch the chapter videos afterwards for a recap. It makes the Bible less intimidating.

[MissChloeRSA]

I think there's a difference between false teaching and error.

[claire.morgan]

While God was drawing me to Himself, before I got saved, I ran into some big names and listened to and read a lot of their stuff and I have now come to hear people claim they are false teachers. Whether they are or aren't, or whether they get some things right and some things wrong, it's clear that God was able to use them in some way. I remember someone saying "the Bible will change your life" and that motivated me to start reading the Bible. Now that I'm saved, I recently started running into all these false teaching claims and it was really messing with my head. I just pray that God would open the Scriptures to me and give me wisdom and discernment, and I know I can trust Him to do that.

[s.ekerry]

The thing everyone needs to remember is that all preachers/teachers are human. The best thing to do is study the word yourself and ask God to help you understand.

Edit: To be clear, I’m not saying not to be discerning, I’m just reminded to not to follow a church leader blindly without making sure what they say lines up with the word of God.

[loribush]

It is because of Francis Chan that I spend more time reading scripture, being in prayer and just having conversations with Jesus. I've learned a lot from him and his demonstrations.

[cclip]

I think Joel Osteen is seriously leading people in serious error.

JESUS is clear. "I am the only way...."
There is NO other way.

[carolebrenton]

I think at the end of time, when we stand before God, we will ALL discover that we got something wrong.

[davidhansen]

This was one of the finest videos I have ever seen on You Tube. Great job!! This video clearly shows all Believers that THEY are responsible to know God's Word and to check out what is being taught against God's Word. There are too many Believers in the world today that are too quick to label a person a False Teacher when these same people have no clue what God's Word actually says. Finally, as a fellow Pastor myself, I try to be very clear in my preaching on any subject I preach about so there is little room for confusion or misunderstanding!! I would encourage all my fellow Pastors to do the same!! God bless you all!!

[alexanderlyon]

Great bottom-line point at the end of the video. Preachers (like all people) make errors, say things in confusing ways, use mixed metaphors, etc. Nobody speaks perfectly or understands perfectly except Jesus. It's much better for each of us to get to know what the Bible says for ourselves than to rely on any given human to teach us perfectly.

[ZayAgka]

There’s a difference between teaching with errors and being a false teacher. One the teaching with errors, we are all human and make mistakes. It’s my belief that teachers should be transparent in that manner, and many, like Francis Chan can be. A false teacher is Joel Osteen.

[noahglomski]

I want to assure you that John Piper would condemn the statement that works get you to Heaven. I think he is highlighting that fruits of the spirit are a result of being saved. We need to remember that faith without works is dead as James tells us.

[deannalgironmusic]

I love this. You will never find a minister that is perfect, they are growing too. As they learn and grow some views may become clearer as their faith deepens. The same is for us as well. You have to take responsibility for your own faith and relationship with God. Too many people blindly follow preachers without going to the Bible to discover it for themselves. God can speak through anyone.

God did not “break” the Law but FULFILLED the Law!—Steven Furtick was in error.

[michaelpaul]

Allen, thank you. I’m a Marine, Swat team member, father of three, husband, and now Youth Pastor. There was a period in my life that I didn’t sleep a full night for possibly near 2 years. I was crushed over my past sins. I want to be clear with the word “past” because they have been long left behind. This isn’t to present me as sinless by any means whatsoever, but, I look back at a period that I was thinking bad thoughts and and acting in a manner that I am not proud of, actually, very ashamed. The shame came in knowing that I failed God. That pain hurt very badly and is hard to describe. There was a period during all this that I no longer wanted to live. I’ve never told anyone this, so it’s quite odd that I’m mentioning it here do publicly. The deeper I went down the tunnel of past sins, the less I talked to God, the less I would read His Word. I went from truly loving every word in the Bible and not being able to read a chapter without stopping to praise God, to feeling unjustified and dirty and worthless, much like painting a wall with a roller and water. I found your videos, specifically on eternal security, and that helped me greatly. Not to go sin, because I absolutely despise sin, it troubles be so greatly now to have a random thought cross my mind, rather to have peace that when God says we are justified and sealed, we are indeed justified and sealed. God’s love is so very great and I am so undeserving of that love. I am truly grateful for Salvation through Jesus, and the repentance of sin. I have a whole new Christian perspective, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I know it may get tiresome making and editing videos for many people you’ll never meet, but trust me when I say you are making an impact. Let’s all continue to pray for each other and lift each other up to God in prayer. And if you have a moment lift me up by name. “Paul.” Thank you all. 🙏
