Biblical teaching on how to scripturally examine and expose doctrinal error in our modern day is teachings.

Tim 4:1 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; KJV
1 Timothy 4:1 [Now the Spirit speaketh expressly] Reetoos God warned prophetically what would happen to sound doctrine:
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. KJV [Depart from the faith] Aposteesontai

They will apostatize from the faith, i.e. from Christianity; renouncing the whole system in effect, by bringing in doctrines which render its essential truths null and void, or denying and renouncing such doctrines as are essential to Christianity as a system of salvation.

[Giving heed to seducing spirits] Pneumasin planois Spirits of deceit; Deception has her spiritual, emissaries of every kind, which to darken the hearts and destroy the souls of men. Pretenders to inspiration, and false teachers of every kind, belong to this class. [And doctrines of devils] Daimonioon Demons; either meaning fallen spirits, or demons, spectres, etc., or doctrines inspired by Satan, by which he secures his own interest, and provides for his own worship.

                                 The Basic Principles For Testing Teachings By Teaching Spirits.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. KJV Since thought, or “belief,” originates either from the God of Truth, or the father of lies (John 8:44), there is but one basic principle for testing the source of all doctrine, or “thoughts” and “beliefs,” held by believers, or unbelievers, i.e., the test of the revealed Word of God.
All “truth” is in harmony with the only channel of revealed truth in the world – the written Word of God. All “teachings” originating from deceiving spirits-

1. Weaken the authority of the Scriptures;
2. Distort the teaching in the Scriptures;
3. Add to the Scriptures the thoughts of men; or
   4. Put the Scriptures entirely aside.

Jessie Penn-Lewis tells how spirit operates once they gain a foothold (War On The Saints, Unabridged Edition, by Jessie Penn-Lewis, Originally published: 1912 page 21).

Biblical Truth vs. Demonic Doctrine

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. KJV

The main points of the true gospel we need to look at are:

1. There is, and always will be, only one God.
2. We are not gods, nor are we evolving into gods.
3. Salvation is based on Christ’s work, not our works.
4. The use of meditation and idolatry is wrong.
5. We resurrect; we do not reincarnate.

Johnson, Ken. Demonic Gospels (Kindle Locations 641-651). Kindle Edition.

THERE IS AND WILL ALWAYS WILL BE ONE GOD

Isa 43:10-11 – ONE GOD (ELOHIM) ONE LORD (JESUS) AND ONE SPIRIT (HOLY GHOST)
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. KJV
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? KJV
1 Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. KJV

WE ARE NOT EVOLVING INTO GODS

Satan thought he was evolving into a god who would surpass the Creator of the universe. He was wrong.

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. KJV
Adam was saved, contrary to Tatian. There was no way possible for Adam to become a god.” Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3.23

SALVATION IS BASED ON CHRIST’S WORK, NOT OUR WORKS

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. KJV

· Scriptures clearly teach that salvation is based on what Jesus did on the cross.
· We must trust Him for salvation.
· We do not meditate or evolve into gods in order to obtain salvation.
· There is absolutely nothing we can do about our salvation

Rom 6:6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? KJV
Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Gal 5:19-21 – They that do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5: 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God KJV

THE USE OF MEDITATION AND IDOLATRY IS WRONG

We do not meditate, use idols, or make ourselves into idols by declaring our own godhood. These things are sin. We do not meditate as if using mind controlled or hypnosis, use idols, or make ourselves into idols by declaring our own godhood. These things are sin.

WE RESURRECT WE DO NOT REINCARNATE

Everyone, both the saved and the unsaved, will physically resurrect. We have Jesus as our example. Paul makes it clear that there will be a physical resurrection.

2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. KJV
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: KJV

Any ancient document that teaches multiple gods, creator angels, creator spirits, or that we are evolving into gods is demonic.

Any ancient document that teaches we should use idols, sorcery, or meditation is demonic. And finally, any ancient document that teaches we can save ourselves by works, meditation, enlightenment, or something else, is clearly demonic!  Johnson, Ken. Demonic Gospels (Kindle Edition. Notes)

GNOSTIC GOSPELS REBORN IN OUR MODERN TIMES

GNOSTIC GOSPELS Defined: are a collection of about 54 ancient texts based upon the teachings of several spiritual leaders, which were written from the 2nd to the 4th century AD.

The name Christian gnostics came to represent a segment of the Early Christian community that believed that salvation lay not in faith in Christ, but in psychic or pneumatic souls learning to free themselves from the material world via the revelation. This being said, we will show that the Gnostic gospels teach these demonic doctrines and, therefore, are not of God, but a trick of Satan.
