I can see a whole endless cycle of people accusing their accusers... "False teachers don’t get a following by being rough and harsh. They get a following by being nice." I don't think it then follows that everyone who is nice is a false teacher, or that everyone who has a following is a false teacher though. I do think it's important to always follow bible references in someone's teaching - and not just the verse they give, check the context of the verse they quote also. Good point blestpickle.

False teachers love us to live in the dark and reduce the amount of sins we commit. They usually emphasise works as well. No coincidence that every other religion has works as its heart and therefore human endeavour not God we are told of this both in the O/T and N/T.
