•Jesus warned: “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. ”(Matthew 24: 5) Therefore,“ Be careful that you do not be deceived. Luke 21: 8
• Jesus also said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye workers of iniquity." (Matthew 7: 21-23)
