““Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26, ESV)
If you come across a popular preacher or pastor, watch out! It is likely they are false, because, at the very least, they will be well spoken of as Jesus proclaims. Billy Graham is an obvious example. Not sure of any other obvious examples like Billy Graham. I came across someone named Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church, he's got over a million subscribers on YouTube alone. This alone makes him suspicious.
In addition, Jesus said to His disciples:
“and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 10:22, ESV)
If you are not hated because of the name of Christ, it is likely you are not saved, and are headed to Hell. Why? Because a mark of a true believer is hatred by the world of you because of Christ.
