We Must Correct Bad Doctrine

Has any of you experienced someone calling you out for exposing a false teacher or correcting a teacher who is not false but in error about something?
 
The Bible clearly teaches that we are to question all things, even correcting someone in public if the statements that were in error, were in public.

I Corinthians 14:29-33...
"29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."


In our present culture it has become considered rude to correct someone and detestable to do it in a public setting, and yet this is what our Lord said to do. Any preacher who cannot be challenged without feeling irritated by it, is one who is not only acting unBiblicly but also suffering from arrogance.
 
Below is a link to a very good article on the subject of correcting and challenging wrong teaching!

The Godly Stive with the Wicked

Proverbs 28:4-5
"4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
But those who keep the law strive with them.

5 Evil men do not understand justice,
But those who seek the Lord understand all things."
