These are key biblical markers to help discern false teachings or doctrines that carry an antichrist spirit, even when someone appears spiritual.
“Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.” — Hebrews 9:22
What it means:
Any teaching that says we’re saved without Jesus’ blood is demonic. It removes the foundation of redemption.
“Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.” — 1 John 4:2-3
What it means:
Claims that Jesus was only a “spirit” or “energy,” or that Christ’s divinity temporarily entered a man, are of the spirit of antichrist.
“You will be like God…” — Genesis 3:5
What it means:
Any teaching that glorifies self or positions man as his own savior apart from Christ repeats the serpent’s lie.
“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves.” — 1 John 1:8
What it means:
Doctrines claiming sin is irrelevant or repentance unnecessary are deceptive and spiritually dangerous.
“All Scripture is God-breathed…” — 2 Timothy 3:16
What it means:
Claims that personal revelation or opinions replace Scripture open the door to manipulation and error.
“Men of corrupt minds, supposing that gain is godliness.” — 1 Timothy 6:5
What it means:
When “faith” focuses on wealth, fame, or control instead of holiness and peace, the gospel has been inverted.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17
What it means:
True Christ-centered teaching leads to freedom and unity; false doctrines create fear, bondage, and control.
“By their fruits you will know them.” — Matthew 7:16
What it means:
Look at the fruit—peace, humility, and purity indicate truth; chaos, pride, and manipulation indicate deception.
What it means:
Hostility or avoidance of Jesus’ blood often indicates spiritual resistance. The enemy hates the mention of the blood because it defeats him.
