2 Peter 2: 1-19
Some characteristics of false teachers are:
1.) they deny the Lord
2.) they speak evil of truth
3.) they use covetousness
4.) they lust for uncleanliness
5.) they despise government
6.) they speak evil of things they do not fully understand
7.) their eyes are full of adultery
8.) they speak words of vanity
9.) they promise liberty but are brought into bondage through their sins.
The easiest way I identify false teachers is whenever I hear anything that denies Christ, I know it is a false teaching. Also, anything that is contrary to what the brethren have taught I recognize as false teaching.
2 Peter 2: 20-22 & Doctrine and Covenants 82: 3, 7
The danger of returning to the pollutants of the world is the concept that we were once in truth, yet we returned to incorrect way. Because of this, it is a greater sin because once a person knows the truth, they are held to a higher standard than those who never heard the truth. There is no more neutral ground. Sinning against greater light causes us to be condemned under greater condemnation.
