What if the most dangerous false teachings don’t sound anti-biblical?

What if they quote Scripture, use biblical language, honor religious tradition, and still quietly move people away from the truth?

In Acts 15, the early church faces one of the most important questions any generation must answer: What is required for a person to be saved?

This teaching walks through the Jerusalem Council, the dispute over circumcision, Peter’s response, and why salvation is through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ — not human effort, religious background, or added requirements.

But here’s what most people miss: false teaching often begins with a misuse of Scripture. The issue in Acts 15 wasn’t circumcision itself. The issue was turning something God had commanded in one covenant context into a requirement for salvation through Jesus.

Acts 15 explained
Grace and works
The Jerusalem Council
False teaching in the church
