For every truth of God, a counterfeit has been laid alongside. For every true worship experience, a false one has been trumpeted by the forces of evil. Before the apostle Paul ever discusses the use and abuse of spiritual gifts, he gives us a short course in false spiritual manifestations and teaches us explicitly how to avoid these pitfalls. While some Bible believers can discern truth from error, a much smaller percentage can discern false worship and the exercise of false spiritual gifts. It's time to hone our skills once again, lest we and our own loved ones fall into the ecstasy trap!
