The Warning  

2 Peter 2:1

As there were many false prophets among the children of Israel in the Old Testament, so there shall be many false teachers rising up in the church of Christ until he comes again. Though they profess to be redeemed by Christ and claim to love him and trust him, though they seem to be most amiable and kind, the poison of asps is under their lips. Their doctrine is damning! Their doctrine is a denial of Christ, not of his coming, but of his accomplishments, not of his Being, but of his character, not of his death, or atonement by it, but of the efficacy of it! To deny Christ the Lord is not a mere denial of the title Lord, but a denial of his character as Lord, rightful Master and absolute Sovereign! "Beware of false prophets!"
