Do Not Tolerate False Doctrine

If we would hold fast that which is good, we MUST NOT TOLERATE any doctrine that is not the pure doctrine of Christ’s Gospel.

There is a hatred that is downright charity: that is the hatred of erroneous doctrine. 

There is an intolerance which is downright praiseworthy: that is the intolerance of false teaching in the pulpit. 

Who would ever think of tolerating a little poison given to him day by day? 

If men come among you who do not preach “all the counsel of God,” who do not preach of Christ, sin, holiness, of ruin, and redemption, and regeneration, – or do not preach of these things in a Scriptural way, you ought to cease to hear them.

You ought to carry out the spirit shown by the Apostle Paul, in Gal.1:8: “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached, let him be accursed.”
