How do we identify a false church?

Identifying a false church involves examining its adherence to biblical doctrine and practices. As outlined in Romans 16:17 and Galatians 1:8-9, any assembly that promotes teachings contrary to the gospel or introduces extra-biblical practices is not aligned with the true church of Christ. Moreover, collaborative worship with those who do not hold to sound doctrinal standards leads believers away from Christ and the true church. Thus, staying vigilant in doctrinal truth as set by scripture is essential for discerning true from false churches.
