True Prophets

IDENTIFYING FALSE PROPHETS
The best clues we have to identify false prophets are these:

They do not teach application of scripture for personal training in righteousness.
The focus of their prophecies are events that are “out there” someplace in the future.
They are always looking for signs and wonders in the natural world that they interpret to predict great and glorious things that God is about to do.
They self-identify themselves as prophets (e.g. pastors, priests, rabbis, etc.) and teachers of God’s word.
They use their so-called prophetic gifts to bribe others to reward them for their teaching and performance of religious rituals.

STUDY TIP: See Religion is the Kingdom of False Prophets for an extensive list of clues for identifying false prophets.

The attitudes and practices of false prophets do not agree in any way with the practice of prophecy found in true Biblical prophets: Exhort people to personal, individual repentance from religious beliefs and practices.

False prophets and the religionists who listen to them neither understand nor apply the true prophet’s message:

Failure to apply this message in real time (i.e. today) is the consequence of the inability to distinguish between the holy and profane (i.e. good and evil), and between clean and unclean foods. Lacking this ability, religious people wrongly believe that everything they learn from religion is clean and good. In this belief they are greatly deceived.
