We are learning something that every Christian should do -- test the spirits. This is not a game or a passing fad in a Christian's life. It is something God has commanded us to do -- test the spirits.

We are answering a Tough Question that faces many Christian teenagers today. Some of their friends attend churches that teach universal salvation.

What we’d like to do in the second part of our answer is look at this part of the question:

"If that’s true, why did Jesus have to die?"

Here’s our next question.

"Some of my friends say their church believes God will save everybody in the end no matter what they believe. If that’s true, why did Jesus have to die?"

We are currently looking at how to test the spirits in our churches, denominations and other Christian organizations. In the last part of this series we looked at the importance of shining a light on false preachers and teachers.

In this part of our series we will look at how to do that: specifically.

This special series is designed to help you and other Christians to be able to identify false preachers and teachers in your church, your denomination, conferences and concerts you attend, and online, radio and television programs you read, hear and watch. As we’ve been documenting in the series, false preachers are everywhere and into everything Christian.

We are answering tough questions from Christian teens about a variety of subjects. The current topics deal with how God saves people.

In the last part of our series, we saw that God used two prophets to help rebuild the Temple that the Babylonians had destroyed decades earlier. Their names were Zechariah and Haggai. We saw how God blessed Judah with revival through their ministry. What we didn’t see in the last part of our series is what they said. We find those words in the Book of Zechariah and the Book of Haggai.

Much of what's written in the Qur'an does not agree with the Bible. How can that be? Which one should we believe to be true? Muslims believe the Qur'an is accurate and the Bible we have was corrupted by early Christians. Christians believe the Bible is accurate and the Qur'an is not. Which one is it?

Many Mormons wonder why Christians don’t believe Mormons are also Christians. Should Christians “not criticize” other religions or their adherents? Are they “good Christians” if they don’t criticize other religions? My answer is simple –

Let's see what we can learn about revival beginning with the proclamation of King Cyrus of Persia.
