This is Heresy

Hebrews 13:9, Galatians 1:7, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 

Here are a few recent teachings we have encountered in otherwise loving, sweet and popular assemblies. Some are dear friends we have known for many years and although I love the people truly, the teachings are un-Biblical and heretic.

1. The resurrection already happened. The second coming of Jesus Christ happened on the day of Pentecost. Heaven is not a place but a state of awareness, a different dimension.  

This is heresy! 

2 John, 1 Corinthians 15, Mark 14:25, Matthew 22:23-32, John 5:29, Romans 6:5, Philippians 3:11

2. Your spirit is sinless, seated with Christ in God and therefore you cannot sin. All that you do in the flesh does not matter because grace covers it. Your behavior, your actions matter little. Your spirit is the real you.

This is heresy!

James 4:4, Jude 1:4, 1 Peter 4:1, 3 John, John 14:21, 2 John 1:8,1 Corinthians 6:15,  2 Corinthians 13:7, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 2:2, James 2:14-26, Romans 6, 2 Peter, Revelations 22:12, Matthew 6:1-18, 1 Corinthians 3:8-14

3. If it is God, you will feel loved. We love people and want to meet their need, so we pursue God to get the power to do it. The purpose of the church is to serve people.

This is heresy!

Galatians 4:16, Mark 12:30, 1 John 4:1-2, 1 John 5:1-3, 2 Corinthians 5:14, John 14:2, Ephesians 3:19, Matthew 10:37

4. There are two salvation plans, one for the Jews and another for the rest of humanity. There are two brides. The Jews do not have to receive Jesus as savior, there is another way for them.

This is heresy!

John 14:6, John 8:12, Mark 15:2, Matthew 1:21, Ephesians 2, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 11, Romans 9:3-8, John 10:9

5. If people oppose what I say, if they disagree with me, then they are evil or demonic. Because I am called and anointed by God I cannot make a mistake. God only anoints truth so I am truth and everyone who does not agree with me is evil. I am free to malign them and attack them because they are the enemy. 

This is heresy!

2 Thessalonians 3:15, Romans 13:8, James 2:1-13, Luke 6:35, John 16;13, Matthew 18, Matthew 5:43, Romans 12:20, Galatians 4:16

The Scripture references to refute these false doctrines are in no way comprehensive. It is just a starting point. There are also much more to each of these that intertwines with it and flows out of it. But as I understand it, these are the root of the teachings.
