How do we know if a preacher is false?

Answered in 1 source

A false preacher is marked by covetousness, deceitfulness, and a lack of shame for sin.

Indicators of a false preacher include their covetousness, as described in Jeremiah 6:13, where it states that they are greedy for gain and seek the praise of men rather than God. They also deal falsely with the word of God, proclaiming messages that contradict the biblical truth regarding sin, salvation, and God's righteousness. Additionally, they may mislead their congregations by assuring them of peace when they are still in their sin, reflecting a severe lack of understanding of the true condition of humanity before a holy God. Ultimately, true preachers are characterized by faithfulness to the Scriptures and a desire to glorify God, whereas false preachers focus on their own benefit.
