He said, "I fear, I fear that the devil's going to try to trick you.
I'm jealous over you.
I'm concerned here that you could follow the wrong people, for," he says in verse 4, "if
he that cometh preacheth another Jesus whom we've not preached, or if you receive another
spirit which you've not received, or another gospel which you have not accepted, ye might
well bear with them."
I'm afraid that you're going to bear with false teachers.
What does it mean to bear with someone?
I mean, Paul said at the very beginning of the verse, or chapter of that is, "Would to
God you could bear with me a little in my falling?"
If I say bear with me, it means what?
Be patient with me.
Hang in there, right?
Stay with me.
Bear with me.
Put up with me.
Be patient with me.
Okay, you know what he's saying?
I'm afraid that you're going to put up with another Jesus.
I'm afraid you're going to put up with another gospel.
I'm afraid you're going to put up with another spirit.
Guess what?
We shouldn't bear with those things.
We shouldn't bear with that.
so
that Paul's afraid that they're gonna get sucked in by who is another Jesus well here's the thing if you just have a guy that you call Jesus that doesn't make him the Jesus of the Bible the right Jesus is the Jesus of the Bible because he's the word made flesh so if he's the word made flesh he's the Jesus of the Bible amen so basically what you have out there are a lot of Hispanic people named Jesus okay and I'm not against you if you're here tonight your name's Jesus but you're not my Savior okay well
just as much as Jesus down the street is not your Savior just because people say
that they believe in Jesus does not mean that they believe in the Jesus of the
Bible in fact you'll even hear people say things like well the Jesus I believe in
and then they'll just make up things out of their own heart that aren't in the
Bible you know the little Jesus that I believe in is just tolerant of
everything and he's for homos and everything you know it's just like well
that's a different Jesus or how about this what about the Jesus of Islam is
Jesus of Islam the same as Jesus of the Bible no because the Jesus of the Bible
is the son of God the Jesus of Islam is not the son of God they believe that
Jesus is just a prophet not the son of God that's not the same Jesus is it okay
what about the Jesus of Mormonism that's a created being his brothers Lucifer
that's a different Jesus okay the Jesus of the Jehovah's Witnesses is not the
Jesus of the Bible because he's Michael the Archangel and he's not co-eternal
with God the Father he's a created being okay he's a lesser God in fact their
Bible changes it where it says in the beginning was the word and the word was
with God and the word was God in their Bible that they've corrupted it says in
the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was a God a
God how many are there there is only but one so you can't have a God all right
just that unless you have a false God you know the Bible talks about a God and
God's plural but it's always false gods which are demons okay when it comes to
the true God there's only one so the Jesus of the Bible is the Son of God okay
also the oneness Pentecostals have another Jesus right they have a Jesus
that's God the Father they don't believe in the Trinity they believe in
modalism and that's another Jesus that's not the Jesus that's the Son of God
that's divine that's co-eternal that's the Creator so we want to make sure we
have the Jesus of the Bible not the Jesus of liberal social social justice
warriors that say well the Jesus I believe in is for Bernie Sanders or
whatever you know you know that's not the Jesus of the Bible and so we want
to make sure that we have the biblical Jesus not another Jesus amen okay then
we also want to make sure that we don't receive another spirit now there's the
Holy Spirit and then there's another spirit that could be received this is a
scary thing because the other spirit would be an unclean spirit all throughout
the Bible we see people that are possessed of an unclean spirit or an
unclean devil they have a fallen demon that comes into them and we don't want
to have anything to do with those unfruitful works of darkness and so we
were to beware of another Jesus were to beware of another spirit
