Christians are not to share the stage, or minister, with false teachers who reject the Bible, and who undermine biblical and historic Christian doctrine. For some to suggest that they can go on the stage with false teachers, and speak with them to “reach them with the Word of God,” raises serious questions. What chapter and verse are you using to support that position?

Either Scripture is truly sufficient, or it isn’t. You cannot say, “I am going to preach the gospel there,” because we’ve seen that logic used before, and those who tried it were influenced more by false doctrine than anything else. Over time, they also ended up preaching messages not even remotely close to biblical Christianity.

If you think this is just “my opinion,” read the New Testament again. Nearly every book addresses false doctrine, or warns against false teachers. This is not a secondary matter, nor an area where faithful Christians can simply agree to disagree.

Scriptural Warnings Against Partnering with False Teachers

The Word of God speaks plainly:

• Romans 16:17–18:
  

  “Watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.”

• 2 John 9–11:
  

  “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.”

• 2 Corinthians 6:14–16:
  

  “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers… what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?”

• Galatians 1:6–9: Even if Paul, or an angel from heaven, preaches a different gospel,
  

  “let him be accursed.”

• 1 Timothy 6:3–5:
  

  ³ If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, ⁴ he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, ⁵ and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

• Titus 3:10–11 — After a first and second warning,
  

  “have nothing more to do with” the divisive person, knowing he is warped, sinful, and self-condemned.

The call is consistent, and clear: shepherds must protect the flock (Acts 20:28–30), false teachers bring swift destruction (2 Peter 2:1–3), and believers must contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3-4).

The Sufficiency of Scripture

All Scripture is God-breathed, profitable, and sufficient to equip us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17). We do not need the platforms of false teachers, and we must not legitimize them by sharing their stage.

Jesus says, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Following Christ means counting the cost (Luke 9:23–27; 14:25–33), denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and obeying His Word without compromise, qualification, or clever exceptions or “qualifications.”

The Call to Faithful Obedience

All that we need for life and godliness comes from Christ, and from His Word not from worldly fads, borrowed platforms, or human opinions. If you dismiss Scripture’s teaching here, say so plainly, but do not claim faithfulness while disobeying what God has clearly revealed.

Christ calls us to follow Him fully, to obey His Word entirely, and to guard His flock from wolves. The cost of obedience may be high, but the cost of compromise is greater confusion for the church, corruption of the gospel message, and compromise of the mission of the Church.
