00:00beloved we are living in perilous times not merely because the world has turned its back on god but because deception has crept into the very household of faith
00:12the greatest threat to the church is not from outside but from within when men twist the truth of god into lies when wolves dress in shepherds clothing and when the gospel is perverted into a message god never spoke
00:27today i speak not from a place of anger but of solemn urgency souls are at stake this particular sect calling itself christian has constructed a system of belief so foreign to the pages of scripture so laced with manipulation false authority and theological poison that it cannot go unchallenged it masquerades as light but it is darkness
00:55it uses the name of christ but it does not know him i am not here to slander personalities or stoke division but to draw a line where god has drawn one
01:06when truth is compromised love demands confrontation the apostle paul warned of another gospel which is no gospel at all and so today we expose the lies not for controversies sake but for christ's sake
01:23for the purity of his bride for the glory of his name when scripture is no longer sufficient the first step toward apostasy one of the most alarming marks of a false sect that claims the name of christ is its abandonment of the sufficiency of scripture
01:41this is not a small error this is the very root from which all other heresies grow it is the first crack in the dam before a flood of deception when a group elevates human experience emotion tradition or private revelation above the written word of god it has already left the narrow road
02:01god has spoken he has not stuttered in 2 timothy 3 16-17 paul declares all scripture is inspired by god and profitable for teaching for reproof for correction for training in righteousness so that the man of god may be adequate equipped for every good work
02:23notice the clarity scripture is sufficient nothing needs to be added and nothing may be taken away yet this sect boldly denies that truth its leaders claim divine dreams prophetic utterances and special anointings that allegedly carry equal or even greater weight than the bible itself
02:46the fresh words from god are treated as binding commands on the conscience as though the spirit of god contradicts the word he inspired that is not revelation that is blasphemy what often begins subtly with a devotional insight or a mystical impression is soon elevated into doctrine
03:09before long the authority of scripture is replaced by the authority of personalities it becomes more important what the apostle prophet or founder has said than what god has said in these sects the bible becomes a prop a platform peace quoted only when it serves the agenda ignored when it contradicts it
03:33this is precisely what jesus rebuked in the pharisees you nullify the word of god for the sake of your tradition matthew 15 6 false religion always does this it exalts human ideas above divine truth but this is not merely bad theology it is a damning lie
03:57when scripture is no longer sufficient the gospel itself is placed in jeopardy because apart from scripture we do not know the true christ we do not understand sin repentance grace or the cross when the bible is treated as partial outdated or incomplete every line of doctrine is up for sale
04:20and satan rejoices let us be clear god does not speak contradictory messages the spirit of god will never lead a person contrary to the word of god the standard is fixed
04:34as isaiah 8 20 says to the law and to the testimony if they do not speak according to this word it is because they have no dawn
04:44this sect has abandoned the dawn of truth for the fog of delusion and for that reason alone it must be exposed because if scripture is not our ultimate authority then we are no longer following christ we are following man
05:00a gospel that saves no one the tragic lie of works and wealth the most damning distortion that this sect proclaims is its false gospel message that either adds to the finished work of christ or replaces it with a counterfeit entirely
05:18this is not a secondary issue paul said in galatians 1 8 even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you
05:30he is to be accursed to tamper with the gospel is to invite the wrath of god and that is precisely what this sect has done
05:40some preach a gospel of works a system of legalism dressed in religious language they tell their followers that salvation is not a gift to be received by grace through faith
05:53but a reward to be earned through ritual obedience tithing and submission to leadership they bind consciences with rules god never gave
06:03they burden hearts with guilt god has already lifted through the cross others go the opposite direction offering a prosperity gospel
06:13gospel where jesus is not savior but sponsor in this version faith becomes a force god becomes a genie
06:23and prayer becomes a tool to demand blessings so a seed they say and you'll reap healing promotion and wealth but that is not biblical faith
06:37it's pagan superstition dressed up in christian terminology it is not the gospel it is greed both systems whether works or wealth have this in common
06:50they remove christ from the center and replace him with self the cross becomes unnecessary grace becomes cheap and god becomes a means to an end rather than the end himself
07:02consider the apostle paul who counted all things as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing christ philippians 3 8
07:12he did not promise financial breakthroughs or self-esteem seminars he preached christ crucified a stumbling block to some foolishness to others
07:24but to those being saved the power of god this sect has exchanged that message for one that fits the flesh
07:31it fills auditoriums sells books and stirs emotion but it does not save souls
07:38because it cannot any gospel that tells you that you must add to christ's finished work
07:44or that christ's work is a stepping stone to personal success is a lie from hell
07:51people in these groups may be sincere they may be zealous but sincerity cannot save
07:57and zeal without truth is dangerous romans 10 2-3 warns of those who have a zeal for god
08:05but not in accordance with knowledge seeking to establish their own righteousness
08:10they do not submit to the righteousness of god
08:13that is the essence of this false gospel so we say again with the apostle
08:18if anyone preaches to you a different gospel than the one you received let him be accursed
08:23the true gospel is enough christ is enough
08:26any message that says otherwise is not christianity
08:30it is counterfeit
08:32another christ another god the peril of distorting the trinity at the heart of all true christianity
08:39is the right understanding of who god is father son and holy spirit three persons one essence co-equal and co-eternal
08:51deny this and you have not merely made a mistake you have constructed a false god one who cannot save
08:59the sect we are exposing does precisely that they claim to honor christ but in truth they have redefined him
09:08and the christ they worship is not the christ of scripture
09:12the apostle paul warned the corinthians of another jesus whom we have not preached
09:18a different spirit a different gospel
09:21that is the trifecta of deception a false christ empowered by a false spirit proclaimed through a false gospel
09:36this sect whether overtly or subtly denies the biblical doctrine of the trinity
09:45some do it by denying the full deity of christ making him a created being a lesser god or a mere
09:51moral example others diminish the personhood of the holy spirit
09:55reducing him to an impersonal force or mystical energy
09:59still others twist the father into a harsh judge
10:02or a genie like provider who exists solely to serve our needs
10:07but scripture leaves no room for these lies
10:10john one one declares in the beginning was the word
10:14and the word was with god and the word was god
10:18colossians 2 9 says of christ in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form
10:25and acts 5 affirms the personhood and deity of the holy spirit
10:30these are not optional doctrines they are essential truths
10:35to deny them is to step outside the boundaries of christianity
10:39this sect may still use christian terminology
10:42but they have redefined the words they speak of jesus
10:46but it is not the eternal son who is one with the father
10:50they speak of the spirit
10:52but it is not the holy spirit who convicts of sin
10:55points to christ and glorifies the father
10:59this is not orthodoxy
11:01it is heresy wrapped in christian clothing
11:04the early church fought bitter battles to preserve the doctrine of the trinity
11:09because they understood that without it there is no salvation
11:14the son had to be fully god to bear the wrath of god
11:18and fully man to represent us before god
11:22a semi-divine christ is powerless to save
11:25a diminished spirit cannot sanctify
11:28a warped view of the father leads only to fear or presumption
11:32false religions always distort the nature of god
11:36and this sect is no exception
11:38what they teach may be popular emotional and spiritually uplifting
11:43but if it misrepresents the god of the bible it is idolatry
11:48and idolatry always leads to destruction
11:51the first commandment is not negotiable
11:54you shall have no other gods before me
11:57if this sect proclaims another god
12:00then we must say clearly
12:02they are not part of the true church
12:04they are a mission field not a ministry partner
12:08when shepherds become tyrants
12:11the sin of spiritual abuse
12:13and authoritarian control
12:16one of the clearest indicators
12:19that a group has departed from biblical christianity
12:23is not only what they believe
12:26but how they lead
12:28in this sect we do not find the humble servant hearted leadership modeled by christ and the apostles
12:35instead we find a leadership structure built on fear manipulation and control
12:42what claims to be pastoral care is in fact spiritual abuse
12:46a distortion of god
12:48given authority for self-serving ends
12:51christ said in matthew 20 25-26
12:55the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them
12:57it shall not be so among you
13:00but in this sect it is
13:02leaders are exalted
13:04not christ
13:06questioning the pastor is equated with rebellion against god
13:10dissent is silenced
13:12members are pressured into obedience
13:15loyalty
13:16and financial giving through intimidation
13:19and the threat of spiritual consequences
13:23this is not shepherding
13:24it is domination
13:25elders in the new testament were called to shepherd the flock of god
13:291 peter 5
13:30to not control it
13:32they were not to lord it over those in their charge
13:35but to be examples to the flock
13:37Paul describes his ministry as one marked by gentleness
13:41like a nursing mother caring for her children 1 Thessalonians 2 7
13:47that is biblical leader
13:49sheep
13:50loving
13:51truthful
13:52sacrificial
13:53the leaders in this sect display the opposite
13:56they surround themselves with layers of hierarchy and secrecy
14:00protecting themselves from accountability while demanding complete submission from followers
14:06they elevate their own words to the level of scripture and call it revelation
14:11they blur the lines between spiritual authority and total control
14:16often intruding into the personal lives of members with demands that have no basis in the bible
14:22the result is a culture of fear shame and silence
14:26abuse survivors are often shamed into silence warned not to touch the lord's anointed
14:34but biblical leadership is not untouchable
14:37Paul rebuked peter to his face galatians 2
14:4211
14:43the barians were commended for testing paul's message against scripture acts 17
14:5011
14:51the truly anointed do not fear scrutiny
14:55they welcome it
14:56authoritarian systems like this sex are not just unhealthy
15:00they are unbiblical they produce spiritual trauma destroy trust in the true church and ultimately hinder people from knowing Christ
15:10any leader who controls others in the name of Christ is abusing the very authority he claims to uphold
15:18so we must speak plainly when a ministry begins to resemble a cult more than a church
15:25when the leader is untouchable and the sheep are expendable
15:29it is no longer a shepherding ministry
15:32it is spiritual tyranny
15:34come out from among them the call to discernment and separation in a world of counterfeit Christianity
15:40perhaps the most neglected virtue in the modern church is discernment
15:45far too many believers assume that anything labeled Christian
15:49anything that mentions Jesus or quotes scripture must be from God
15:54but that is not what scripture teaches
15:56we are repeatedly commanded to test everything
15:59to examine every spirit
16:01to weigh every message against the word of God
16:041 John 4
16:06one says it bluntly
16:07beloved
16:09do not believe every spirit
16:11but test the spirits to see whether they are from God
16:14because many false prophets have gone out into the world
16:18if that was true in the first century
16:21it is even more necessary now
16:23this sect thrives because Christians lack discernment
16:27they confuse charisma for anointing
16:29they substitute feelings for truth
16:31they value signs and wonders over sound doctrine
16:34but discernment is not optional
16:36it is essential
16:38without it we will be tossed to and fro
16:40by every wind of doctrine
16:42Ephesians 4 14
16:44and discernment is not just about identifying errors
16:48about separating from it
16:50Romans 16 17 says
16:52mark those who cause divisions
16:54and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have been taught
16:57avoid them
16:582 Corinthians 6 17 commands
17:01come out from among them and be separate
17:04says the Lord
17:05some will say
17:06but shouldn't we love them
17:07yes we must
17:08and love tells the truth
17:10love confronts error
17:12love rescues people from spiritual danger
17:15it doesn't leave them in it
17:17unity at the expense of truth is not unity
17:20it is compromise
17:22this is why this sect must be exposed
17:25not out of malice
17:26not out of superiority
17:28but out of love for God's people
17:30and reverence for his word
17:32the lines must be clear
17:34truth must be preached
17:35error must be confronted
17:37if you are part of such a group
17:40the word of God is clear
17:42come out
17:43flee deception
17:44run to the true gospel
17:46run to the true Christ
17:48run to the sufficiency of scripture
17:52and the safety of sound doctrine
17:54God is not honored by misplaced loyalty to men
17:58he is honored by faithfulness to his truth
18:01in the end
18:02we will all give an account
18:04not for how loyal we were to institutions
18:07but for how faithful we were to Christ and his word
18:11the good
18:14rest is going to be continued into the world
18:16and that is still your time
18:18to come with the word
18:19and then we have to go with the word
18:20it is still not clear
18:21through pride
18:22that is to stop us
18:23that is not clear
18:24that is not clear
18:25that is because it is a way
18:26that is not clear
18:27that is not possible
18:28and we are the only one
18:29that is for the truth
18:30that is not clear
18:31as they are created
18:32and view them
18:33so were the ones
18:34to their own
18:36that is not clear
18:37the word
18:38that is not clear
