Matthew 24:11, And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. People are not properly sensitive to the absolute need to keep any amount of spiritual error out of a church. 1 Corinthians 5:6, Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? [Also Galatians 5:9]. In the Scripture, the word leaven does not mean physical yeast in bread; rather, it means, spiritual error. so, what the Apostle Paul is saying here is that it only takes a small amount of spiritual error to ruin the entire endeavor. When you mix Biblical truth with a drop of untruth or error, Believing that the Truth contained within the teaching somehow overcomes the error. Yet, these same people would not dream of drinking a cup of coffee that has one single drop of deadly poison, even though the cup remains overwhelmingly coffee! The same principle holds true in spiritual matters. Whenever you spot spiritual error, walk away as rapidly as possible, never looking back. No amount of Truth will make up for the error being propagated. So let us work out our salvation with fear and trembling philppians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Matthew 7:13-15, Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing. Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. This is one of the most solemn verses in all the Bible, because it describes the anguished cries of those who are facing the White Throne Judgment, and heading for Hell, who thought they were saved and going to Heaven.
