How do we know heresy is true?

Answered in 1 source

Heresy is identified through its deviation from established biblical doctrines and the essential truths of Christianity.

Heresy is considered true in the sense that it reflects real departures from the faith once delivered to the saints. The Apostle Paul instructs Titus to reject a heretic after the first and second admonitions, emphasizing a clear distinction between truth and falsehood. Historical examples, such as those during the Reformation, highlight how heretical teachings prompted faithful believers to leave the Catholic Church and pursue biblical truth. The Scripture underscores that heresy not only leads individuals astray but can also create disunity within the church, calling for a responsible response from the congregation.
