Separation?

Wayne Grudem

Read the pages of the NT and you will quickly see that there have always been issues of false teaching in the church.

Jesus warns us: ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves’ (Matthew 7.15). Likewise, Paul counsels: ‘I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears’ (Acts 20.29-31).

Too ready or too blasé

In practice, we almost all tend towards either being too ready to see false teaching in anyone even slightly different from ourselves or, alternatively, far too blasé and neglectful about watching for it and tackling it when it arises.
