Today, we continue in 2 Peter 2, where Peter gives several red flags for spotting false teachers:

• Red flag #1: walking after the flesh for dishonest gain - Freely you received, freely give.
• Red flag #2: despising authority - Scripture has plural elders, not a single head pastor.
• Be like the Bereans. Scripture is the final authority, not any teacher (podcasters included).
• Red flag #3: slandering the "Dignitaries" - who are the dignitaries, and what Jude 8-9 says about them.
• Doing good things does not make someone's teaching good. Watch for Balaam's kind of gain.
