Twisted Scripture 1 Timothy 4:1

One of the marks of the last days is an increase in false teachers, who for a while embrace the gospel but are later lured away into heresy. The apostle Paul predicted that this would happen at the church of Ephesus, where Timothy served as leader (Ac 20:29-30). Later the ascended Lord commended this church with the words “You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars” (Rv 2:2). Christians are responsible for testing new doctrines and revelations against the clear teaching of Scripture (Ac 17:17).
