1 John Series1 John 4:1
A Warning about False Teachers
Part II
![Page 4: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Chapter 4 begins with a warning to recognize and
avoid false teachings.

“Beloved ones” is used to designate the Royal Family
of God, emphasizing the fact that Jesus Christ is the beloved and you and I are accepted in the beloved
(Eph 1:6).
![Page 6: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We are Royal Family, and with the privilege comes
responsibility, the responsibility to advance to
maturity through discernment between true
and false teaching.
![Page 7: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We are told to stop doing something we are currently
doing; “stop believing” falsehoods of
“influential speakers” or “eloquent speakers”.

Eloquence isn’t always true, eloquence is not a
sign of truthfulness, it's just a personality trait or
learned behavior.
![Page 9: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
With persuasive speech this constitutes thought testing on behalf of the
believer, a great momentum test in
advancing towards spiritual maturity.
![Page 10: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Eloquence is often mistaken for spiritual
dynamics; it may or may not be. The issue is not
eloquence but the content of message.
![Page 11: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Only the believer with maximum Bible doctrine resident in his soul and perceiving while inside GPS, can determine or discern the difference.
![Page 12: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It is not the man but the message. Eloquent error is
still error. Eloquence cannot convert what is false into what is true.

Principle: Perception of Bible doctrine provides
discernment and common sense, which eliminates
naïve appreciation of talent.

“Into the World” KOSMOS =
Satan’s Cosmic System.

Satan’s system embraces false teaching and rejects
true doctrine.

John 15:18-20, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I
chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates
you….
![Page 17: Grace Fellowship Church GraceDoctrine Pastor/Teacher Jim Rickard Sunday January 20, 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813ce4550346895da68b07/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
… Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not
greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also
persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.”
