Why is it dangerous to follow modern religious leaders?

Answered in 1 source

Many modern religious leaders preach messages that deviate from the true gospel, leading people astray.

The sermon points out that many religious figures today promote a false gospel that emphasizes universalism and a lack of true repentance. This is illustrated through examples such as Billy Graham, who, while respected, presented a view that deviates from the Reformed understanding of salvation. The danger lies in the allure of their familiar and comforting messages, which can lead followers away from the truth of God's Word. Believers are admonished to test the spirits and ensure that any preaching aligns with the Scripture, adhering to the assertion that salvation comes only through God’s grace and not through works or false promises (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
