There is a false teaching we need to beware of. It says we should not go by the Bible as our primary way of knowing right from wrong. Following the Bible is called legalism, and it's words dead letters. These false teachers say we should instead learn to follow the Spirit, because "the letter killeth." This is FALSE! We should learn to follow the leading of the Spirit, but God doesn't go against the Bible. If what we think to be the Spirit goes against the Bible, it is our vain imagination, not God.
I was at a message board where the owner claimed following his own TOS and SOF and thinking that was enough was legalism. These people are so super spiritual in their own minds, they don't need rules or to be limited to scriptural standards. Talk about being prideful and arrogant! I bring this up so we will not allow that false doctrine in here at Narrow Way. While we strive to keep the all inclusive heresy and the OSAS lie out, we can miss this one, that is just as dangerous and heretical.

Well, if people says they are following the Spirit and are in agreement with things such as gay marriage, abortion, then it is not the Spirit of God they are following.

This is very dangerous indeed and open huge doors to deception.
❝And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.❞ - 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
If teaching from the Bible is legalism, then we can say Jesus was legalist as well, look at this passage:
❝For God commanded, saying,
‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother,
“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God” — then he need not honor his father or mother.’
Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.❞ - Matthew 15:4-6
Yes, he who curses father or mother should be put to death. It is right.
But we should not forget mercy as well... And that is something Jesus taught and practiced as well.
❝Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?”
says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?❞ - Ezekiel 18:23
The letter kills when you apply it without mercy. When people are convicted and insist in their evil ways and say:
❝...‘I shall have peace, even though I follow the dictates of my heart’ —
as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.❞ - Deuteronomy 29:19
It is when they are welcoming judgment to themselves by rejecting repentance.
❝...“The Lord would not spare him; for then the anger of the
Lord and His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in
this book would settle on him, and the Lord would blot out his name from under heaven.❞ - Deuteronomy 29:20
And refusing God's mercy is choosing judgment as He will not change His Word to suit your preferences.
❝If we are faithless, He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.❞ - 2 Timothy 2:13
Conclusion:
Repent or Perish.
❝...unless you repent you will all likewise perish.❞ - Luke 13:3
