“God’s Gospel and No Other” - Dr. Doug Melton

  2 Corinthians 11:1-15

Central truth - Spiritual warfare includes bringing truth into darkness AND confronting false teaching.

1. Examples of false teaching

A. Prosperity Gospel - Godly living brings prosperity

  •God wants you to be happy.

  •If you are trying to be good, you deserve for good things to happen to you.

That’s another Jesus.

 B. Hyper-grace - Because Christians are forgiven, they can continue in sin.

  • “Follow your heart.”

  • “As long as you ‘prayed the prayer,’ you’re going to heaven.“

 That’s a different spirit.

 C. Universalism - Everyone will end up in heaven.

  • People are fundamentally good.

  • “The God I know would never send anyone to hell.”

 That’s a different gospel.

2. Indications of false teaching

 A. Elevates a particular teaching heretofore unbeknownst to the Church.

 B. Elevates a particular doctrine or aspect of God‘s character

 C. Elevates a particular person, not Christ

3. Importance of watching out for false teaching.

 A. False teaching leads you astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

 B. False teaching is subtle, satanic, and seductive.

 C. False teaching will not subside.
