31 Signs You Might Be Apostate
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you. (JAMES 4:6-10)
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 JOHN 1:9)

I laughed when i read 21. Well, many can tell if someone is a false or true prophet... And they usually will recognize tlsitd as a false one.
"But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me." - John 15:21
Especially after watching this video with 31 (convicting) signs that you are an apostate.

Especially after watching this video with 31 (convicting) signs that you are an apostate.For men and women who love the lies , WILL HATE the true ones . As was seen in the true prophets . HOW MANY heard them and gave heed to their counsel. And how many sat under the counsel of the false who prophesied SMOOTH THINGS . ALWAYS and its only gotten worse , ALWAYS the majority of Those who called Him LORD , did so in vain , FORTHEY NEVER LOVED HIM . THEY LOVED self . And now a word from the LORD from days long gone by , YET HIS WORD IS ALIVE and SHARP as ever TODAY . WOE unto you when men shall speak well of YOU , for so did they unto the false prophets . Woe don't mean , OH WOOAH , WOW its wonderful . WOE MEANS WOE .

Are there really Christians who think like that? I really can't conceive of a born again person thinking that way. An unsaved person who professes to be a Christian, yes, but a Christian? Well, it's possible I suppose, if he or she is very deceived and very puffed up. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. (Galatians 6:3)

(Galatians 6:3) Are the Kenneth Copeland , binny hinns , and scores of others who teach that , truly christain . NOPE . Hence the number thirty two . Folks who sit under the we be lil gods , equal , as God , they have no idea WHO FIRST THOUGHT LIKE THAT . A hint . ITS IN ISSIAH . I shall be as GOD , I shall ascend , I < I < I I . FOR the lil god teaching , WHO do those teachers exalt , THEMSELVES and those who sit under those , exalt themselves as being some great thing of god , just like SIMEON did . ITS scorcery . We should have the attitude JESUS TOLD us to have . WHEN ye have done these things , say we are unprofitable servants who have just done our duty . AKA, DONT SEE YA SELF as ANYTHING . EXALT ONLY GOD . I don't see that in Kenneth Copeland and those who teach that we lil gods . OH they exalting a god all right , THE ONE WHOSE IMAGE THEY SEE WHEN THEY LOOK INTO A MIRROR. and frankly teachings like theirs , I despise . any teaching that honors and exalts man, AND NOT GOD is a teaching I had rather put in a burn barrel and burn it . Please note I did not say I would put the TEACHER of it in a burn barrel and burn them . BUT THE MESSAGE , the false teachings , Oh yes , if they put them in a book and held it high for all to see, and said HEY Frienduff, come on up here and lay hands on this book. MAY it be seen , that on that day , I would calmly walk up and say let us light a fire . And let them light a fire . THEN I would pick up that book and as they marveled , let it be heard that I would say , THIS book deserves THIS , as I throw the sorry pile of dung into the fire . GOT no love for the things which do not exalt GOD .

Man-centered "Christian" preaching and teaching---in all its forms---is from hell, and people who embrace it are being led to where it came from, sadly.

Don't confuse being conservative or religious with being doctrinally orthodox or spiritual. Apostasy can take a worldly, sensual form or a religious form, but both forms of departure from God's truth serve the flesh and not Him, and both kinds of departure from the doctrine of the faith produce bad fruit.
The Pharisees were very conservative, and strict about the outward and physical rules of the Law, but they changed the Law with their own teachings, and they didn't keep the moral precepts of the Law and were full of all kinds of impurity on the inside.
So just because a person dresses conservatively and lives a strict and outwardly clean life, doesn't mean that they are being obedient to the law of Christ in spirit or in truth or living according to His will. They may just be living according to human teachings and their own self-righteousness and pride, as the Pharisees, and the Jews who followed them, were.
If a person's religiosity or 'orthodoxy' isn't based on and warranted by the teachings of the New Testament, and if their fruit is not the fruit of the Spirit (their attitude and behavior are un-Christlike) they are just as apostate as the worldly Christians who live like the worldlings do, though they may fancy themselves to be "holier" than these.
Only adherence to God's truth produces good fruit and practical holiness. Adherence to anything else produces the opposite of what God desires, and is of no value in restraining and subduing the thoughts, attitudes and desires of the sinful nature, because there is no grace (power from God) to keep human teachings, but only to keep the truth of His word. Keeping something else produces a form of godliness but not genuine godliness.
This truth is observable in real life.
