They come saying, "Jesus is Lord" ... but they deny portions of scripture and remove godly doctrines of the Bible from the church.
You read many of the antichrist letters on this blog as various men write to me saying they are ministers but they never present any message from God and all they do is tell us of their own works.
Jesus told us they would do this in the end times.
Matthew 24:3-5
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?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in MY name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in MY name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ; and shall deceive many.

II Peter 2
1-3
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
(They say Jesus is Lord but they deny THE WORD, Jesus, by removing and explaining away certain scripture and by setting up other doctrines which please men.)
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
13-15
Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

You go to hear what they would say, desiring something from God, and they tell you how many orphanages they have built.
* These are wells without water
Often your conditions is worse than it was before you heard them and by their cajoling they take your money away from you and you leave with nothing.

Matthew 23:14-15 Jesus says:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

They write to me telling of their own works ... never speaking a message from God to edify the church for they have no message from God.
They tell of their orphanages. They tell of their evangelism. They tell of their colleges where they reproduce themselves. They tell of setting up old folks homes and medical centers.
But they never tell us any message from God to edify the church for they have no message from God. All they ever have are their own works.
Don't be deceived by them.
