It's amazing to see some UNCONVERTED Bible Teachers or Worldly Church Critics coming out to ATTACK great Pastors, Prophets and Church founders. What seems to be more amazing is that they seem to have MORE light than REAL believers about Religious/Church Lies or deceptions of Great Men, but still thoroughly deceived themselves. We must be careful to NOT hold hands with the accuser of brethren, the devil. All in the name of exposing False Pastors/Prophets of great churches:

Titus.3.2 - They (true believers) MUST NOT "speak evil" of ANYONE, and they MUST AVOID "quarreling". Instead, they should be GENTLE and show TRUE HUMILITY to everyone. "

That tells me that just having understanding or light on deceptions is NOT the main thing, but Reality: living in Obedience and abiding in Christ daily; the way of the CROSS of Christ.

Some of these "unconverted" Church Critics say a lot of things which are "unfortunately" TRUE about Great Religious Men/Churches. However, what's the use of being in DARKNESS: living a FALSE LIFE and yet trying to EXPOSE darkness. I think that's a MUCH HIGHER LEVEL of deception!

And I believe the devil is happy with BOTH SIDES of these deceptions (with the "religious unconverted critics" AND the False/Backslidden Preachers/Church founders they try to ATTACK).

Please, if you're REALLY SERIOUS about Eternal life, and NOT want to go astray or STOP going astray; FIRST, don't look out for just these Religious Men's Gifts or anointing: great preaching or teaching, Bible Knowledge, singing voice or speech, Miracles or signs and wonders, prosperity and popularity, ELOQUENCE and charm, talents or skills, ETC. Matt. 24:24

These are what DECEIVE us, and even some unbelievers, church critics seem to sometimes have MORE light.

1Sam.16.7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't "judge" BY HIS APPEARANCE or height, for I have REJECTED HIM. The LORD doesn't make decisions THE WAY YOU do! People judge by OUTWARD APPEARANCE, but the LORD looks at a person's thoughts and intentions (the HEART)."

Jesus said, "By their "FRUITS" (NOT by great gift or anointing, but Christ-likeness) we shall KNOW them. Matt. 7:16

So, what are FRUITS?

Not just about the fruits of the Spirit, but their LIFESTYLES in general: Values and Attitudes COMPARE TO Christ (or people like Paul, Peter, John, etc).

So, before I consider a Man/Woman (whether great or small) a TRUE Man of God (Christlike), FIRST, I want to know his ATTITUDE to MONEY and Material Wealth COMPARE TO Christ (because Jesus said we can't SERVE God and Mammon). Matt. 6:24

Secondly, what's his attitude to POPULARITY: the honour, glory, APPROVAL of Men (because Jesus said, "WOE to you if Men SPEAK WELL of you, like they did to the FALSE Prophets of old) Luke 6:26

Lastly, if possible, it's important to know the lifestyles or attitudes of his Children and CLOSEST coworkers (because it says "An Elder must rule his family well, or how can he rule a whole church if he doesn't). Titus 1:6; Titus 3:4-5.

They can EASILY FOOL their members and fans worldwide, but NOT their children who are living or have lived CLOSELY with them for MANY years.

Unfortunately, that might be one of the MAJOR reasons why MANY Pastors' or Prophets' sons and daughters are rather spoilt spiritually. Really not completely their faults, though. Because they might say, "Okay Daddy, we know you have GREAT Sermons and Spiritual Gifts, but you LOVE MONEY and Material things; you're Proud and LOVE the Honour of Men, you don't want to OFFEND people, so you speak softly, tell RELIGIOUS LIES for PROFIT. And you always ADD to, or twist God's Word so that people won't go away. Daddy, you're a great Bible teacher but you are always ANGRY with Mummy, losing your temper at home, bitter, hating other people and your enemies. So Daddy, that's why we are wayward: proud, love Money, disobedient to parents, bitter, and terribly WORLDLY in the Heart."

To expose DARKNESS, we must be sure to be in the LIGHT ourselves; living in obedience to Jesus as in the New testament. So as to ESCAPE living in a Common World of Delusion of Men in this End-time.

Titus.1.6 - An ELDER must be well thought of for his "GOOD LIFE" (not just FOR great spiritual gifts). He must be FAITHFUL to his wife, and his children MUST BE believers who are NOT wild or rebellious.

Matt.24.4 NLT
Jesus told them, "Don't let ANYONE mislead (or deceive) you.

May Jesus give you light.

Titus.3.2 - They (true believers) MUST NOT "speak evil" of ANYONE, and they MUST AVOID "quarreling". Instead, they should be GENTLE and show TRUE HUMILITY to everyone. "

Matthew 15:14 KJV
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch (hell).
