The Danger of False Prophets

False prophets pose a significant threat to the foundational beliefs of the church by spreading teachings that deviate from biblical truths. They often present their messages with confidence and charisma, which can deceive many congregants into believing they are delivering divine insights. For example, a South African minister, Carrie Smith, was highlighted as someone who proclaims prophetic words that lack scriptural backing, emphasizing atmosphere shifts and emotional responses rather than biblical principles. Such leaders dilute the gospel and mislead their followers, distracting them from engaging with the true teachings of Christ and undermining the integrity of the church.
