Answer: NOT ONLY JUDGING PERMISSIBLE, ITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

As Christians, we are commanded against following teachers blindly but are told rather to
“test everything; hold on to the good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). The Apostle Peter warns
us in 2 Peter 2:1-3 that there will be false teachers in our day just as there were false teachers
in his day. Among their false teachings is a denial of the sufficiency of the sacrifice of Christ
on the cross to take away sin, which is a common theme among cultists today. Another
characteristic of false teachers is the greed which motivates them in everything they do. Paul
offers a similar warning to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:29-31, calling the false teachers
“savage wolves” who mercilessly attempt to destroy the faith of the sheep and draw them
away from the Shepherd. Paul warned the church continually, pleading with them night and
day to be on their guard against such deceivers.

From these passages, we see clearly that we are to distinguish between true and false
teachers. How then are we to do that? First, as Paul instructs the Ephesians, we are to “no
longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every
wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming”
(Ephesians 4:14). Rather, we are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ” and we do this by “the knowledge of the Son of God” (v. 13). The
knowledge of Christ can only be obtained through the Word of God, and it is by that Word
that we distinguish between the true and the false.

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus offers some critical advice in discerning who is a false prophet:

It is of utmost importance that Christians are well grounded in the Scriptures so that they are
able to discern which teachers speak from God and which are false in their proclamation.
Only then can we reject what is false and “hold on to the good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Dear brothers and sisters, please read the word of GOD for yourself first to discern between
the true and false preachers, you are so pathetic if you dont know what the word of GOD says
and warn about such false prophets, instead you will know nothing and be on the offence
when anyone warns you about such false preachers.

As it is mentioned in John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to
you. John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet
to come.

1 John 2:27 But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't
need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to
know, and what he teaches is true--it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in
fellowship with Christ.

Prayer > My Loving Heavenly Father GOD. I know that we are living in days when there is so
much deception – not only in the world but in the Church that it is often difficult to know the
truth – yet You have told us that if we know the truth, the truth will set us free.
