* In the last days, many will come saying they are Christians and they will deceive many.

 
Matthew 24   

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.


Comments by Joan Boney:

Many will come saying "Jesus is the Christ",  "Jesus is Lord", and they say they are Christians, and they will deceive many this way.

They think they are Christians because they went forward at church.

But they are not born again by the Spirit of God unless God draws them by HIS Spirit.

How do we keep from being deceived?

When a person is of God, usually he will share something that God has done for him or something that God has told him.  And he may even tell how he followed God by doing that which God said.

This is what should happen!

Some fail to give their testimony as to what God has done or what God has said to them.  I don't know why they hold back from us, the church.  But some hold back and do not share.

Philemon verse 6  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

We should be able to recognize those who have the same Spirit that we have, the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:
