****

1. Apostolic signs and wonders  
This heresy teaches that believers of today can be apostles, along with being a prophet, and can perform the signs and wonders. The spiritual apostolic sign gifts, such as speaking in tongues, laying hands on the sick, casting out devils, taking up serpents, and drinking deadly things, are not for today, as their purpose was to confirm the preached word of God to Israel in the 1st Century (Romans 12:6-13; 1 Corinthians 14).

2. Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire
This heresy teaches that after a person gets saved, they then receive the Holy Ghost that when a person receives the Holy Ghost after they've received Christ as Saviour … and this is contrary to Romans 8:9.

Baptism with fire occurs when the lost, with Satan, are cast forever into the everlasting  Lake of Fire (Matthew 3:11-12; Revelation chapter 20). Believers are baptised by the Holy Spirit into the death of Christ and sinners into the lake of fire.      

3. Denial of Eternal Security
This heresy teaches that a believer can lose their salvation through a lack of good works.  This is contrary to John 1:12, 1 John 32:2, Romans 8:14, Ga1atians 4:5, Ephesians 4:30, 2Corinthians 1:22, 1Peter 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20; Ephesians 2:8-9.

4. Unpardonable Sin aka Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
This heresy teaches that today this unpardonable sin still operates with believers … but this is impossible and contrary to Mark 3:28-30. It only concerned Jesus Christ while he was alive on earth. This is only mentioned before Calvary, when it was obvious that Jesus was working miracles by the power of the Holy Ghost. It was to say that Jesus had an unclean Spirit

5. Women Preachers
This heresy is contrary to 1Timothy 2:11-12; 1Timothy 3:2 whereby it is unscriptural for a woman to be a pastor or a teacher. They can teach children as this is not taking away the authority over men. As Eve was born of the flesh of Adam, and not of the dust of the ground, this is the reason God does not allow women to usurp authority over men.  

6. A-Millennialism
This heresy denies the literal 1000 year reign of Christ on earth with his saints (Revelation 20:1-7; 2 Timothy 2:11-13; Luke 19:17-19; Revelation 5:10). This heresy is generally believed by “THE CHURCH HAS REPLACED ISRAEL CROWD” thereby unsuccessfully stealing God’s promises to Israel.

7. Baptismal Regeneration
This heresy states that babies can be cleansed from all sin by being baptised. This is not found in the Bible (Romans 4:15; 5:13)

8. Denial of the Sin Nature from Birth
This heresy teaches that "all people are born good". This denies Psalm 51:5;58:3; Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:12.

9. Lord's Supper Required Weekly or for obedience to maintain salvation
This heresy is not found in the doctrine of Paul. It is for remembrance only of Christ’s death and as oft as is taken (Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:25).

10. Musical Instruments Forbidden in Worship 
This heresy teaches that musical instruments are to be banned from church services. What happens is that men playing guitars and drums, and women singing at the front of the congregation, only provide for visual flesh distractions. “Oh, look at her etc etc; and him strumming and playing the guitar like a rock musician!”. How easily the flesh takes over. A simple piano or violin can suffice however.

11. Salvation through Works
This heresy is contrary to Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9. It teaches that human effort is required to get saved and to maintain salvation.  

12. True Church theory
This heresy teaches that "Our Church is the only true church". Those who have received Christ alone by faith alone are members in his church, and being in his body (Ephesians 4:4; 5:23-32; Col 1:18-24).  

13. Annihilation
This heresy teaches that the wicked are destroyed with no eternal punishment. Jesus disagreed (Matthew 25:41; Luke 16:24).  

14. Denial that Jesus Christ is God
This heresy is contrary to what the King James Bible says in 1John 5:7; John 20:28, Isaiah 9:6; 1Timothy 3:16 and many others.

15. Denial the Holy Ghost is God
This heresy is contrary to what the King James Bible says in 1 John 5:7; Acts 5:3-4 and many others. 

16. Denial of a Literal Burning Hell
This heresy is contrary to what Jesus says in Matthew 5:22; 25:41 etc

17. Denial of the Literal Second Coming of Christ­
This heresy is contrary to the following scriptures Titus 2:13; Acts1:11; Revelation 1:7; Revelation chapter 19 etc

18. Denial of the Trinity aka the Godhead
This heresy is contrary to what 1John 5:7 says. Also Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9.

19. Deity of Man
This heresy teaches that man is God or can become God. Contrary to 1 John 5:7-8, Isaiah 44:6; Isaiah 45:5 etc.

20. Denial of the Blood Atonement
This heresy teaching is contrary to John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22: Acts 20:28

21. Denial of the Physical Resurrection of Christ
This heresy teaching is contrary to Luke 24:38-39; John 20:27

22. Multiple Authorities and versions
This is the false teaching that denies that the King James Bible is the sole authority for faith and doctrine. "Bringing to nought the word of God" (Mark 7:13)

23. Polytheism
This heresy teaches there is more than one God. Contrary to Genesis 1:1; Mark 12:29 

24.  Celibate Priesthood
This heresy teaches that Catholic priests and nuns must remain celibate. Peter had a wife and mother-in-law Matthew 8:1.

25. The confessional of sins to a priest
This heresy teaches the pagan practice of the Roman Catholic church, and is contrary to 1Timothy 2:5. Sins are to be confessed to God, and faults to man if necessary.

26. Image Worship
This heresy teaches that prayer wheels, prayer beads, candles, crosses and relics are necessary for worship, and is contrary to John 4:24, and never found in the doctrine of Paul.  

27. Immaculate Conception
This heresy teaches that Mary was born sinless. Contrary to Romans 3:23; Luke 2:22; Luke 1:47

28. Infant Baptism
This heresy teaches water baptism and is contrary to the doctrine of Paul for with babies, children and adults 1 Corinthians 1:17.

29. Mary Worship
This Roman Catholic heresy is contrary to 1Timothy 2:5.

30. Mass
This Roman Catholic heresy teaches that the wafer and the grape juice are the actual body and blood of Christ and is contrary to the doctrine of Paul 1Corinthians 11:24-25.

31. Papacy and the Priesthood
This Roman Catholic heresy is contrary to the doctrine of Paul Hebrews 10:11.

32. Purgatory
This Roman Catholic heresy says that after death, purgatory is the place where sins are purged till a person is ready for heaven. Contrary to Paul’s doctrine in 1 Corinthians 3:13, 15 … the man’s work shall be tried. Just another money making scheme by Rome.

33. Sabbath Keeping
This heresy teaches that Christians should worship on Saturday. This is contrary to Paul’s teachings in 1Corinthians 16:2. Christ rose on the 8th day and this is why Christians gather on Sunday.

34. Soul Sleep
This heresy teaches that at death there is no punishment for the unsaved and is contrary to Luke 16:19-22,23-25.

35. Denial of the Virgin Birth
This heresy denies that Jesus was miraculously conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of a virgin, without the sperm of a man, and is contrary to Matthew 1:18.

36. Reincarnation
This heresy is contrary to Hebrews 9:27

37. British-Israel Theory
This heresy teaches that the Ten Tribes of Israel went to the British Isles after being taken into captivity by the Assyrians in 722 BC. This heresy has the Anglo-Saxon races being heirs to the promises of Israel, and is contrary to Luke 2:26;
2 Chronicles 30:11-12,18;34:9, as these scriptures prove these tribes were never lost.  
The Bible clearly shows that many members of the ten tribes of Israel were still living in their land during the spiritual revival in Judah under King Josiah just 100 years after the nation was carried away into Assyria!

38. Polytheism
This heresy teaches there is more than one God. Read what God Almighty thinks about this in Isaiah chapters 41- 49
