How do we know if a preacher is true?

Answered in 3 sources

A true preacher is identified by their faithfulness to proclaim God's Word rather than their own opinions or experiences.

Determining the authenticity of a preacher hinges on the message they deliver. True preachers stick closely to Scripture, declaring 'Thus saith the Lord' rather than their own dreams or visions (Jeremiah 23:28). Paul warns in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 that even Satan can appear as an angel of light, and his ministers can transform themselves, making it essential for believers to discern messages based on their adherence to Scripture. True preaching will center on Christ and His work, not mere human wisdom or sentiment.
