Discerning False Doctrines: Scripture distinguishes between the true Gospel and counterfeit teachings (allos vs. heteros—another Jesus or a completely different spirit/gospel).


The Path to Spiritual Freedom: True peace, protection, and healing come solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not through occult rituals, offerings, or folk magic.
