Recently, there have been two notable instances of theologically conservative, Reformed Christians welcoming in false teachers, introducing them to their audiences, and, by doing so, essentially giving them their seal of approval. And they’re not the only ones. This kind of thing happens all the time with high profile Christians, parachurch ministries, and churches. We’ll explore the Scriptures that explain why this is a sin and harmful to Christians, the church, and the false teachers, themselves.

*Justin Peters SCORCHES False Prophets (Justin Peters and Todd Friel on separation)
*Note from Michelle: Providentially, I was made aware of this video by a follower about an hour after Amy and I finished recording this episode. Interestingly, we said some of the same things Todd and Justin said nearly verbatim! On my honor- this was not plagiarism or copying, but an instance of likemindedness, probably due to their influence upon me. As we said in the episode, Christians can be influenced by false teachers, but also by doctrinally sound teachers!

How does this differ from using music from churches like Bethel and Hillsong for worship in your church? I don’t believe there is any difference.
It’s certainly similar. Sort of like platforming a false teacher in absentia.
