One of the most common evidence of a false believer is their misuse of the Word of God to fit their desired belief which allows them to sin and feel no remorse for it.
This will be one of the very first signs of a false believer. They will be mean, rude, and disrespectful and justify it by thinking they are superior.
The Pharisees were of this sort, I guess we could say that there are many modern-day Pharisees within the church gatherings who think they have authority over others in violation of the Word of God.
These modern-day Pharisees demand that those in their gathering follow them without question. They refuse to allow the Holy Spirit to work in each believer, negating that it is the Holy Spirit Who leads each one according to His will and purpose.
Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others."
Matthew 23:15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves."
Many churches bring in unbelievers to enhance their numbers while turning those converts into snobs just like them. They embrace new people readily, but will not enhance their walk with Christ, they only seek to influence the new converts to become just like them, superficial and superior using flatter instead of teachings that promote holiness.
When we speak the truth of the Bible openly and with conviction we will not be accepted in these apostate gatherings.
May the Lord strengthen every truth-teller who seeks Christ!!!
Proverbs 4:26-27 "Make a level path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil."
