“As
a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and
carried about by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men, by craftiness
in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all
aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from who the whole body, being
fitted, and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper
working of each individual part, causes, the growth of the body for the
building up of itself in love.” Romans
4:14-16
Paul
is warning us that we need to pay attention to what is being preached. There
are false teachers working to lure unsuspecting people into cults which have a
form of religion, but which violate the tenants of Christianity – specifically,
they deny the deity of Christ.
Our
first order of business in helping new believers is to teach them to weight
what they are being taught about salvation against what the Bible says; specifically, that the only path to salvation
is to acknowledge Jesus as Lord, Master and Savior.
If
we do our job, we can put the cults out of business.
