Within the organized church Apostates profess FAITH and then depart from it.
The apostate pretends to be very pious and very religious!
The apostate gives heed to “seducing spirits” (satanic spirits)!
The apostate teach “Doctrines of devils”(demons)!
Sad but true, there are many
apostates in the organized
church today!!

“Perilous(desperate)
Times”:

2 Timothy 3:2-4
For men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,
without self-control, brutal, despisers
of good,
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers
of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

ALL these human
behaviors are
manifested at this

BELIEVERS: “take heed”

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles,
deceitful workers, disguising
themselves as apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of
light. Therefore it is not surprising if
his servants also disguise
themselves as servants of
righteousness;---

C O N D I T I O N S
Satan has his ministers in the organized church:
1. They are COUNTERFEITS!
2. They are lost CHURCH MEMBERS!
3. THEY DECEIVE AND DESTORY!

TRUTH!TRUTH!1st John 4:1-3
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every
spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in the world.

John 4:1-3)

2nd Peter 2:1
But false prophets also arose
among the people, just as there will
also be false teachers among you,
who will secretly introduce
destructive heresies, even denying
the Master who bought them,
bringing swift destruction upon
themselves.

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine, but according to their
own desires, because they have itching
ears, they will heap up for themselves
teachers;
2 Timothy 4:4
and they will turn their ears
away from the truth, and be
turned aside to fables.
