"If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, 'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,' you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him.
In Acts 17, the saints of Berea were commended for checking Paul's teaching against Scripture. Should anyone else expect that they should be exempt from the same stipulation? If someone teaches that something, disobedient to the Word, is an acceptable practice, it's time for me to get going. I don't want to fail a test by the LORD, God the Almighty; the false prophet must answer for himself.
