Clouds Without Water: A Brief Study of False Ministers in the New Testament Church
()
About this ebook
In this publication, we will explore the subject of false ministers. Jesus said that many would come in His name. As Christians, we need to be able to identify false ministers. Though some may appear like true Christians, the scriptures provide guidelines for their identification. It is our hope that these angels of deception will not deceive any believer.
