False teaching is on the rise, which Scripture tells us will occur. There are numerous individuals who have come to be known as "discernment ministries", calling attention to aberrant practices and false teachings that are leading many astray. Though the Bible does not mention discernment ministers, it does instruct us as Christians to use proper discernment, which includes testing the spirit that is bringing a particular doctrine or teaching. However, there is disagreement as to how loving it is to call out false teachings and to name names. Some even believe that doing such things brings division to the body of Christ and is unloving in its intent. Join me as we consider dissenting thoughts on the subject, and we consider what Scripture has to say about the exposure of false teachers and false prophets. Drawing from her own journey out of the Word of Faith and New Apostolic Reformation, Dawn also responds to common critiques and points listeners back to the authority of God's Word.

In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines what Scripture says about false teachers, false prophets, and the call to live at peace with all. From Romans 12, 2 Peter 2, James 4, Isaiah 57, and Galatians 1, she explains why Christians are called to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, but cannot have fellowship with those who twist God's Word. Dawn highlights the difference between showing common grace and having biblical fellowship, and she points to the serious warnings the Bible gives regarding those who teach heresy and lead others astray. This episode serves as both a pastoral encouragement and a discernment resource for the church today.
