test it all.
1 Thessalonians 5:21-24
"but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."
I just want to remind you guys that no matter who is teaching you, you HAVE to be discerning and not just openly accept everything that you are taught. We need to be like the Bereans (not the senior citizen's group - but the Christians from Berea in Acts), who "received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11). These guys tested what Paul taught!
So please, no matter who it is... test it.
