How do we know false prophets are deceptive?

Answered in 1 source

False prophets are identified by their deceitful practices and focus on self-gain rather than the gospel.

The Bible warns of false prophets who masquerade as servants of righteousness, yet they are driven by self-interest and deceit. As Paul highlights in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, these individuals transform themselves to appear as apostles of Christ, using clever words and manipulative tactics to deceive the faithful. Their true nature is revealed through their motivations and teachings, which often prioritize financial gain and popularity over the uncompromising truth of the gospel. Believers are called to discern and test the spirits, as instructed in 1 John 4:1, ensuring they follow those who preach Christ genuinely and faithfully.
