But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light.
I recently visited my local city hall and I noticed new brochures on display that educated residents about security markings on cash. Apparently, there had been a recent influx of counterfeit money into my town's local economy. Similarly, there are people that will try to pass you false faith teachings that will appear to agree with the Lord Jesus, His teachings and His words. These false teachers will sometimes appeal to you in God's name, using what appear to be Christian practices. They might even behave the way you think a Christian would behave and even look the way you think a Christian would look. No worries though, because the Word of God tells us how to identify the "security markings" of the truth given to us by the Bible, as well as how to identify the fakers. Take the time to read the Bible, to meditate upon the Word and let Him reign throughout your life. Do these things and you'll have no problem seeing the lack of fruit around a spiritual counterfeit. Likewise, if you do get fooled by a spiritual counterfeit, it may unfortunately be time for you to examine your own walk with God.
