My brothers both Michael and Ben ... 25 plus years ago, when I accepted Jesus Christ, The Son of God, my Lord and Savior, I had ZERO Biblical knowledge. Almost immediately I had Mormons and JW's knocking at my door. What very little knowledge of TRUTH I did have, I was able to resist them. My point is this: One MUST know the Word of God to be able to identify what is false. I immediately feel sorrow for the people falling into false teachings, as I eventually did just that. It was through the (Holy Spirit) questioning and challenging of "what" was being taught that I finally removed myself from the "Church" I first attended. The questions and challenges came as I read and absorbed (Truth of God) the Bible itself. I was frowned upon and thought of as a "trouble maker" in the flock. Praise God he gives us his written word and his Grace and Mercy as we get caught up in that "Wilderness" - that lies and distortions bring us into. "True Believers" need education and guidance and intercessory prayers.
