Beloved in Christ! We write this, as it appeared good in Christ, towarn you of a peril currently looming at large, in today's Christianworld. Generally wherever there are places with dangerous spots,appropriate warning signs are displayed such as "Danger-Don't touch", "Go slow", "Halt and proceed" etc., to caution the public. Those who heed to such warnings save themselves from the corresponding perils and those who do not pay attention to such warnings have to face the consequences. In the same way, for each soul deciding to follow Christ, some warning notices are mentioned in the Scriptures here and there. Those who observe such warnings and walk in the Christian path save their souls, but others face distress.

All those who are called Christians are not truly Christians and not all those who preach Christ are ministers of Christ. It is necessary for the children of God to understand this danger. The Holy Spirit says "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you" (II Pet. 2:1). Also, the Holy Spirit has told that in the last days someone hostile to Christ will appear and that even now some who have his spirit are working already. The Bible calls that person Anti Christ. If the children of God fail to understand how such people who have the spirit of antichrist would behave and how to identify them, it would be difficult for them to escape such danger.

Shall we see what the Holy Spirit says on this? Children, we can understand that these are last times. "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists" (I John 2:18). As a thief steals money from a man and runs away, the affected person would run after him shouting 'thief', 'thief'. The thief would mingle with the crowd and he too would pretend to run after the thief shouting 'Catch the thief. There he goes!'. The public too believing his word would run along with the real thief. The Christian world also is in a similar state. Those who have no knowledge through Scriptures about who is antichrist, what his work is and what those who possess his spirit would do, are emboldened to call true Christians as anti-Christians and the anti-Christians as true Christians! Children of God should understand the consequence of facing this danger! Lord Jesus Christ said, "he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation" (Mark 3:29).

How will the antichrist be? The Holy Spirit says "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world" (I John 4:3). Some have misunderstood this verse and are nearing a grave danger. That is, they believe that whichever spirit that declares by mouth "Jesus" is the spirit of God (I John 4:2). Dear readers, if you analyze the Scriptures, you can understand the relevant explanations. Some demons had called out 'Jesus, Son of David' etc. Many people possessed by devil too would praise Jesus and say 'victory by the blood of Jesus'. They speak in tongues also. Seeing this there are also some who say that they do not possess any evil spirit. Here I would like to mention of an incident.

There was a Christian family known to me in Mumbai. Young couples. The marriage was solemnized only in a church by the pastor. Once as they were in their family prayer, suddenly a dreadful roar came from that woman. The husband stopped the prayer and looked at the face of the woman. Her face looked terrible.Suddenly that woman opened her mouth and shouted at him, "Hey, do you know who I am? Are you praying? See what I am going to do to you!". Saying this, she pounced on him. That brother ran out of his house and told the matter to a believer of our church. As they both entered the house that sister was in a pitiable state. Our believer advised him to bring his wife to our church as she looked to be possessed by a terrible spirit, which can be driven out by our pastors with the power of God. As that sister regained her consciousness the next day, he had told her of the advice given by our believer. That sister however refused saying 'we should not go to other church like that. Let us go to our native place. There is a woman there who can pray for me'. They both left for her native place and went to that woman to pray. As they prayed his wife began to speak in tongues. Then the woman who was praying for them, advised the husband "Look. Brother! The Lord loves you. He has driven out the evil spirit and given her the Holy Spirit. Hereafter don't say that she is possessed by the evil spirit".

Again both came back to Mumbai. On their return, he informed our brother that his wife had received the anointing of the holy Spirit and that the evil spirit had been driven out. Our brother said he was happy to hear that. After a week, one day, the said couple sat down for their family prayer. Suddenly his wife screamed furiously with her tongue stretching out, "Hey, are you reading the Bible? You know who I am?". Her husband was highly scared and told the matter to our brother. Our brother was surprised and asked him, "What brother, you told me that your wife received the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Then how did this happen? That husband then pleaded with our brother for help saying that they had been deceived. Then they were brought to our church and the ministers of God prayed and drove out the evil spirit. Therefore don't be deceived by believing that all those who speak in tongues do so by the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The meaning of denying Jesus Christ: The Holy Spirit says that those who fail to declare that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, thus disowning Him saying that He is not sent by God nor is He the Son of God but only a prophet and a man like us and also those who say that Jesus Christ is the Father denying that He is the Son are antichrists. (I John 2:22-23;). " Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God" (2 John 1:9). The Holy Spirit says that such people are antichrists or enemies of God. One can understand the doctrines of Christ by analyzing the New Testament. We point out just a few here. You should save your souls by identifying antichrist through careful analysis of the words of God.

1. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:16) is the doctrine of Christ. To baptize the unbelieving child is the doctrine of antichrist.

2. "Wait for the gift My Father promised, which you have heard Me speak about" (Act 1:4) is the doctrine of Christ. 'Not so, the moment you believed Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit has entered you' is the doctrine of antichrist.

3. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5) is the Christ's doctrine. 'That is false, a lie; Neither baptism nor Holy Spirit is essential. If one does a few good works, it is sufficient to earn him a place in heaven" is antichrist's doctrine.

4. "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet" (John 13:14) is the doctrine of Christ. 'Is it necessary to express your humility only by washing one's feet? Is it not sufficient that one is humble at heart? And God looks only the heart' is the teaching of antichrist.

5. "And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me. Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19-20; I Cor. 11:23-26). This is the teaching of Christ. But the Bishop's act of distributing only the bread to the congregation but drinking the wine himself is a demonstration of antichrist's doctrine.

6. The doctrine of Christ is : Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. Do not observe caste/racial differences". However saying 'I will have matrimonial alliances only among my race/caste' is to obey the doctrine of antichrist.

7. "Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:18-19) is the doctrine of Christ. The doctrine of antichrist is : There are no apostles these days. God has kept to Himself the keys to the kingdom of heaven without giving it to anybody. Because all are thieves and if they are given the keys they will open the heaven and take away everything!

8. "The chosen people of God will reign on this earth for a thousand years" (Rev. 5:9-10, 20:6) is the doctrine of Christ. 'Not at all, the thousand years reign is only at the heaven" is antichrist's doctrine.

9. The doctrine of Christ: "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (I Thes. 4:16-17). "Not so, Christ has already come again and gathers His bride. The Son of God is already here" is the teaching of antichrist.

Beloved, these papers can not hold if we were to keep writing everything. But these days, the followers of Christ, prefers to see miracles rather than understand the doctrine of Christ. We want to declare that this is the danger! Some think that without the Spirit of Christ, it is not possible to perform such miracles.

Listen to what Jesus Christ says: "False christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand" (Matt. 24:24-25). Dear readers, the first entrant to hell is antichrist only (Rev. 19:20). Therefore all those who do not stand on the doctrines of Christ will be cast into the lake of fire along with the antichrist.

You should escape this danger and in order to enter His kingdom at His second coming, you should know the doctrines of Christ and abide by them (II Thes. 1:7-8).

"See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain" (Heb. 8:5)
