The Narrow Road // Week 11: True or False - Disciples & Prophets // Pastor Blaine Keene

The Test of Inside-Out Consistency – Is there integrity between what they say or do on the outside, and who they are on the inside? The Test of Good Fruit – Do they display the fruit of the Spirit and the character of Christ (especially when it seems no one is watching)? The Test of Lordship rooted in Relationship – Do their words/actions overflow from deep abiding in Christ and surrendered obedience to Jesus’ Lordship? The Test of Biblical Authority - Are they using the Bible to make their point, or are they highlighting the point the Bible makes? “Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other.” - Matthew 7:15-16 MSG
