I am convinced we are seeing far more pretenders in the church today than authentic believers. The practice of picking and choosing the things they like to obey and ignoring the things they don't like is common.
There is far more false doctrine in most gatherings today than there is truth. Since everything is based on "feelings" and "happiness" we can see the resistance to self evaluation.
Most people now expect to be praised and indulged. When they are not they become angry quickly.
Romans 16:18
"18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."
Luke 9:23
"23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
Psalm 62:4 " 4 They fully intend to topple him from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah "
Proverbs 27:6
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy."
Galatians 1:10
"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ."
