How do we know if a preacher is true or false?

To identify a true preacher, one should look for their adherence to God's Word as the foundation of their message. True preachers preach the Word of God faithfully, as instructed in 2 Timothy 4:2, regardless of the cultural or social circumstances. In contrast, false prophets often rely on personal revelation, dreams, or signs and wonders to attract followers, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 13:1-3. Believers are called to evaluate the teachings against the Scriptures and the historic Christian faith to discern the truth.
