"Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" 1 John 4:1.
I try every thing in the light of the "Historical Gospel" of Jesus Christ. If it is not according to the Gospel, justification by faith or the bible, I reject it. All of the cults and false religions have one thing in common, they all have writings other than the Bible. The Calvinist have "The Council of Dort". The Catholics have "The Cannons of Trent". The Mormons have written their own Bible known as "The Book of Mormon". The writings of these religions do not compliment the Bible, they oppose it. The Bible does not need any of these commentaries, the Bible speaks for its self. It is the inspired word of God, 2 Timothy 3:16. The Bible was written by Christians for Christians. The trouble starts when people that are not Christians try to interpret it. The Bible is a spiritual book and can only be correctly interpreted by those that posses the Holy Spirit.
It is Satan's work to confuse and pervert God's word and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The entrance into heaven is by faith in God's word and the Gospel of his Son Jesus Christ. If Satan can keep you from that truth then he is very happy.
"So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (which is the Gospel) Romans 10:17.

On the day of Pentecost when the Gospel first came into the world in the power of the Holy Spirit, Acts chapter 2. Thousands heard Peter's Gospel and were born again by the word of God, 1 Peter 1:23, This was a major, major event that gave birth to the New Testament church. The number that heard and believed the Gospel were about 8,000, Acts 2:41 also Acts 4:4. The book of Acts is an account of the apostles going into the world to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The result was that most of them died violent deaths at the hands of the religious.
The Gospel is about how Jesus justifies the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and reconciles us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. This is the Gospel. We are legally justified, sanctified and redeemed by the doing and the dying of Jesus. No religion needed. In the Gospel Jesus saves and he saves to the uttermost, Hebrews 7:25. No one needs to be predestinated. No one needs to join the Catholic church. We are made complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. The Gospel is...
