Many believers are slowed in their spiritual growth for lack of wisdom. Sometimes teaching that stymies spiritual growth is enthusiastically endorsed because believers do not know the scriptures.
We should heed Paul's warning against listening to people who pander to the flesh, rather than edifying in the truth. Be aware that human philosophy and erroneous religious traditions are contrary to Christ. Do not be deceived. Hold fast to Christ and honor Him to please the Father. Be wise in evaluating "spiritual experiences," knowing that they are not to produce pride or elitism. Know the importance of commitment to a local church and of submission to righteous spiritual authority. Submit to God's ordained order in the home, church and workplace.
(Colossians 2:8-9), says, "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."
Blessings, Prayers and Love,
