When people leave the Cross and turn to other things, which millions are now doing, the Scripture says of them: "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1).
Needless to say, such individuals, as with the lukewarm and as with those who have a form of godliness, are labeled by the Lord as unsaved, despite their claims, and will not go in the rapture nor enter the strait gate and narrow way that leads unto life. Many people believe they are in Christ, but have a make believe salvation.
Many are proclaiming Christ, but forsaking the Cross (lukewarm). This is also called "spiritual adultery (Rom. 7:1-4)."
If you leave the Cross you enter death!

Nah I saw a youtube video that said you dont need the Bible just listen to what God tells you directly.
Just joking. But im not joking about people like that on youtube, if you dont believe me, look up "bible is mark of the beast". YES there are people saying that.
I wonder what happens when God tells these people different things, how do they check who is right? One who has the more fancy message, more polished?
Thats why the Bible is a good tool to have, we can go back and check what these prophets are saying. THE OT SAINTS (and in corinth in the beginning) HAD NO SUCH PRIVILEGE. How they ever knew who was a real prophet, is beyond me.

I love when people always throw in the you need to study scriptures as if someone doesn't. The argument I was making is Satan doesn't go to heaven every time he wants to tempt us. We also have free will to do whatever we want. God knows what is going to happen and doesn't intervene in some cases. This doesn't mean that Satan needs permission and go to heaven every single time he wants to do something.
I am reading M. Scott Peck, M.D.’s book about the hope for healing human evil. He laments that the science of psychology has only accepted evil, never studied it.
In this book he points out that evil people are drawn to the church because they only lie to themselves and the world. In the church they can cover up their basic desire to harm. Scott points to pride as a major source of evil, humbleness and honesty is needed to combat it.

1. I never said everyone is going to heaven
2. Satan will deceive. And if you are not open to see what others see. You are prone to his deception because his biggest discretion is pride
Once again not everyone who professes to be Christian is born again. Whoever has been born again shall never see hell

Strangers on youtube that you literally don't know from Adam, who are giving some personal testimony without any evidence, are NOT the kinds of things that constitute PROOF.
Lots of people in the world make all kinds of claims.
Simply choosing to believe some of them, without any justification, is not really a sound way to arrive at your beliefs.
The original apostles on the the other hand, were PROVEN to be speaking for God by the attendance of miracles.
Their ministries were attended by physical miracles, in the physical world, which were empirically provable.
God left us with NO DOUBT OF ANY KIND that these were his prophets, and they were speaking for him.
Some guy on youtube who just claims to have a vision... he just isn't in the same category.
You can believe whatever you want.
But to believe incredible claims with no proof or evidence of any kind...
that fits the definition of gullible.

WOW...guess scripture is wrong then....and I won't buy that;
The Bible tells us that Satan is...." the accuser of the Christian (brethren)"....and that Christ sits on the right hand of G-d and is our intercessor...hired attorney.....if you will...and If we have repented of the charge when Satan enters the allegation of offense against us......Christ pleads our case and...."it is remembered no more". , et al.
So..Show scripture supporting your statement?

MORE:
When a complete stranger says something on youtube without any proof of any kind, that doesn't constitute proof.
It doesn't constitute PROOF.
It doesn't even constitute GOOD evidence.
It doesn't even constitute WEAK evidence.
It doesn't constitute any evidence at all.
It is just words... words spoken by someone you don't even know.
God tells us, in scripture, over and over, NOT to be ignorant, NOT to be deceived, NOT to just be believe whatever someone happens to say.
We are to be discerning.
