Raising Anti-Pseudo Teachers among Members of Contemporary Churches through Pastoral Administration
Abstract
The contemporary Church is filled with false teachers who are twisting the Written Word of God to suit their purpose and will, and not the Will of God whom they profess to call them. Hence, they are winning souls, gaining popularity among the contemporary Church, and turning the immature believers in Christ into pseudo-members and, ultimately, pseudo-teachers. The paper, therefore, addresses the raising of members in the modern Church who will be against the pseudo-teachers through a pastoral administration like the disciples who gave themselves to the ministry of prayer and the Word in their administrative strategy of raising mature believers in Christ Jesus in the first-century Church. The paper used the descriptive method.
