Are you speaking of ...
Everyone, theologically speaking, is a product of their Teacher.
if their Teacher is Paul, then they will teach what God gave Paul. ...
'You believe' what ? It is easy (for a spiritual man) to see if someone is a true "Berean" or not - by Scripture, thru and with Scripture, by and in and with the revelation of truth and wisdom God Gives as God Says in the Bible.I believe I'm speaking about something that you'll apparently never grasp/understand/comprehend, even though you think that somehow you're a "Berean".

Okay am willing-have been here before though :)-
There are believers who want to indoctrinate you into their harmful theology. This is their mission in life. They feel they are "led of the Spirit" to actually cause harm regarding the Faith of real born again believers.
So, how to recognize them?
How to know who is the liar, and who is the Truth.
Now i have a strong and unrelenting point of view about a certain heresy, because i have seen the damage it causes churches, Christians, and the heretics themselves. This theology is an extreme spiritual poison. Its an infection of the mind and spiritual condition. It literally can make you crazy. Especially if you are a sincere and true believer who above all things wants to please God.
The True Believers, if they are caught up in this hellish circular reasoning theology, become more and more upset and there is NO simple remedy. See, what happens if you get infected by the people who are spreading this spiritual deceit, is that the bible and the devil begin to work together to condemn you to the point where you will begin to obsess on THE idea that you are lost, and hell bound. The bible becomes a punishing enemy as all it seems to do is show you that you are going to hell. Ive seen it. Ive dealt with believers who are caught up in the devil's lie, and TAUGHT IT by other believers. Ive witnessed the mind damage and the broken spirit. These believers, who have been deeply mentally disturbed by the people who mean to do it,....other believers... And because of these poisonous "christians", they can't open a bible and get any Help. Prayer life becomes a guilt trip. They cry and shake and feel sick all the time. Their lives become so disrupted by this screaming mental idea that they have committed the unparsdonable sin, or they have willfully sinned their salvation away. And all they had to do to be destroyed was show up on a "friendly" Christian Forum and read some fool's Thread regarding "losing your salvation" This particular Thread Topic is posted constantly on every Christian Forum that will allow it. And the next thing a sincere believer thinks after reading this spiritual poision is, "what if i did this".... and then the bottom falls out of their lives as the devil begins to work their minds into worry and fear to try to literally destroy them.
FYI. : The Epistle to the Hebrews, is a spiritual bear trap. Its a book that will tie a novice baby Christian in a knot for life. This epistle is so strong, so powerful, that when a novice gets into it, having no sound theology to lean on , no soul anchor of Grace from their Christian beginnnig, no deep understanding of Redemption,.. they will end up for the rest of their life preaching one message. "you can lose your salvation". That is what happens to everyone who get lost in the Epistle to the Hebrews, because they never became grounded in GRACE and "Justification by Faith" theology Truth BEFORE they jumped into this DEEP DEEP Epistle written to the "Hebrews".
Listen Saint, the bible is not a fun filled novel. Its a Spiritual Awakening Experience, written as words in Jesus's Blood.. Understand? And the unclean spirit , Satan, uses the bible to harm you, if he can. And do you think he can't.?
Listen... He was here before Adam. He was looking over Paul's shoulder when Paul was getting his letters out to the Churches. He sent Muslims their Bible. He lifted Jesus up by His power and took him to a high place and showed the Lord of Glory a few things... Satan is alive, just as certain as Jesus is Risen. And he is not playing with you. He wants your LIFE if he can't get your soul, and if he can't get ether because you are born again, then he'll send a heretic's lies into your mind, using a pulpit, a commentary, an online FORUM, a family member, a christian commentary..... that will try to make you believe that the Blood of Jesus is only as good as you trying by "abiding" and "enduring" and "commandment keeping" to try to keep yourself saved.
Now you think about that..... The heretic will continue to try to make you believe that the Blood Atonement is actually YOU keeping yourself saved, OR NOT. That the blood of Jesus is only as good as you are....
There are 2 Gospels that are preached, since the Cross was raised.. One is From the New Testament, and one is from the Devil. The bible preaches that God MADE you righteous and keeps you righteous, HIMSELF, if you will believe in Christ. Philippians 1:6
This is known as being born again. This is God becoming Jesus the Man and taking His very righteousness and giving it to you in place of your sin, and unrighteousness. This is Redemption. The Blood Atonement. "The Gift of Righteousness". "The Gift of Salvation".
The Devil's gospel teaches that your works make you and keep righteous, "enduring" "Abiding", "Obedience" and commandment keeping keeps you saved, and your obedience, you see... is your Cross that you hang on, to save yourself.
God's Gospel, is : "i will save you and keep you saved. ". using the Blood of Jesus.
The devil's gospel, is anything and everything else. And Saint, everything else including the person who is teaching works for salvation...... is Galatians 1:8
How can two doctrines be so different and similar at the same time? (Blown aroundThe Holy Spirit does convict of sin, and righteousness, and of judgment. So if a man is hell-bound, the Holy Spirit will show him that through biblical doctrine. However, the Holy Ghost's purpose in doing this is to bring that person to Christ so that they will be hell-bound no longer.
See above.
A broken spirit is not necessarily a bad thing.
Psa 51:17, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psa 34:18, The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
There is eternal security for the one who fears the Lord...for the one who fears losing their salvation and therefore stays within the boundaries of salvation that God has set for them.
Jer 32:38, And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Jer 32:39, And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Jer 32:40, And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Psa 19:9, The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
It has been said that in looking at John 10:27-30, that no one can snatch you out of God's hand; but you can walk away yourself. The verses above show that if you have the fear of the LORD, you will not even walk away yourself but shall not depart from the LORD because of the fear of the LORD.
Therefore, as long as I fear and stay within certain boundaries, I will find that there is never any reason for terror.
Yes; I teach that God has made us righteous (Romans 5:19) and that this is a free gift (Romans 5:17). However, I also teach that the righteousness given is practical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).
Most people on earth are at best blown around, while usually not caring - they go on serving the demons, without repenting, even after warned repeatedly (they just don't listen, or don't care).How can two doctrines be so different and similar at the same time? (Blown around)

oops... The so-called answer to this question is not answered properly in context.
Someone taught that "you cannot lose your salvation" to many people, and on judgment day they find out they aren't even saved at all to start with. (multitudes of people, as written).
The heretic simply does not know Jesus or His love in their hearts.
Each false teacher has their own take on their faith and what it means. .
In practice I agree, but in principle I disagree. When Eve sinned she was placed below her husband, but Adam could still receive from GOD. And so every man is designed to receive directly from GOD.
Of course many "men" defer to other men, therefore they're women.

From the moment we were saved, we were lumbered with false teachers, every kind of doctrine and fake church leaders. We came out of rcc, so you’d think it would have been plain sailing...It’s like we're magnets- sick of it, but in spite of all this, Jesus always has the victory in the end.Most people on earth are at best blown around, while usually not caring - they go on serving the demons, without repenting, even after warned repeatedly (they just don't listen, or don't care).
Most doctrines are false doctrines (remember Jesus says there are many false teachers, not many true teachers).
The only true hope is for the Father in heaven to hear your cries for truth, in line with His Word, as He is well-pleased to reveal the truth to infants, while hiding salvation from the educated ones.
i.e.
trust the Father, the Creator, in Jesus, and seek Him, - His Sheep Hear His Voice (and we will not listen to another voice opposed to Him).
I do know what falling from grace is, it is about denying the cross and our redemption. Hebrews describes it as going back to the world, at which point one cannot return.You have no idea what "justification by faith" means, so maybe you should waste your time on some other Thread?
Also, there is only one way to be saved.. and Kept saved.
The heretic is always shown to be so, by falling from Grace.
The reason you have no understanding of what "falling from Grace" means is because if you knew, you would not have done it to yourself.
Well, yes- "magnets".... or "targets", i.e. whoever loves the truth is attacked as Jesus said is and would be, as Jesus Himself was and is attacked. All society loving wickedness and evil pursues to the farthest ends of the earth to eliminate and bring down in destruction everyone , even their own, as well as all who have hope in Jesus. Society is as it was in the days of Noah, as written, and is not a good place..... no.From the moment we were saved, we were lumbered with false teachers, every kind of doctrine and fake church leaders.

Encouraging words in line with all Scripture and in Harmony with God's Plan and Purpose for all of us in Christ Jesus !I stand in a strange place knowing we can be like Jesus but never knowing, because it is for Jesus to say. Significance of me is only a servant of the King, He gets all the honour. There are many like me, God bless you, and thank you for your encouragement.
oops, there is the error (one anyway). Those in Christ Jesus do "work out our salvation with fear and trembling" as God Directs in His Word,So, when a person is ultra confused regarding the simplicity that is found "in Christ", ... when they believe that Jesus saved them, and now they have to keep themselves saved..
Okay am willing-have been here before though :)
Again, a false premise (found) in (more than one of) your posts on which you build or claim further false teachings ?They place YOU on the Cross, and would have you trying to ...Keep yourself saved.
