One of our missionaries in the Mandalay region encountered a form of false teachings, the heretic, in his church. The Heretic is the person who teaches what blatantly contradicts an essential teaching of the Christian faith and it is the most prominent and perhaps the most dangerous of the false teachings. This heretic was spreading the false teaching about Jesus, manipulating His natures. The heretic taught the church members that believing Jesus cannot save you from sin for he is human and weak; but one must believe in Christ to be saved, thus dividing Jesus Christ into two different persons. The missionary encountered this heretic quickly and save the members from his teaching. However, unfortunately, a few already followed him leaving the church. There are other false teachings invading the church in Myanmar that the body of Christ are staying alert more than ever.
“But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.”
2 Peter 2:1 NIV
Prayer Requests
Let’s pray for this missionary and other church leaders that they will protect their congregations from false teaching by equipping them with the sound doctrines of the Bible.
