Condemn and expel the corrupt false shepherds!
“Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges!” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13. How shall we be counted worthy in the future to judge ANGELS, as Paul writes, if now we cannot even discern in our own midst agents of anti-Christian special services disguised as pastors or ministers? Christ the Lord commands us to learn the following: “Do not judge according to appearance, but JUDGE with righteous judgment.” “The spiritual person judges all things”! “The Holy Spirit will guide you into ALL truth.”

These facts from the history of evangelical Christians are of interest not only because this is OUR history, but also because HISTORY tends to REPEAT ITSELF. And without knowing and understanding it, we evangelical Christians may continue to fall victim to our own or someone else’s criminal (in my opinion) naivety. Why criminal? Because because of it many believers suffer or perish, sometimes being deprived of the help intended for them, and also those who could have been saved go to hell because they do not receive the true living gospel. Jesus Christ commended the Ephesian church for being able to test “apostles,” Satan’s messengers, and to expose liars from their midst! Revelation 2! The Apostle Paul taught the same to the carnal Corinthian Christians.
“I know your works… that you cannot bear those who are evil, and you have tested those who call themselves apostles (bishops, pastors, and ministers), and they are not, and have found them liars.” Revelation 2:2
“…and no wonder, for even Satan’s servants disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15.
Christ praised the early Christians for their INTOLERANCE of the immoral and religious impostors, but today one can hear from the mouth of a minister, “We don’t judge anyone?!” God forbid we should now cultivate the exact opposite of what the Lord commended the ancient church for!

They (the KGB) recruited prophets, infiltrated their own people into the churches, who contributed, for example, to get someone excluded from the church. But all this was trifles. Captain Klimov told me (Boris Perchatkin) about the main goals set before them: “Our main objective was to turn you into Soviet believers.”
And further: “In the 1950s-60s we didn’t allow you to study. We gave you such character references that with them you could only be accepted in the prison camp.
Then we changed tactics, and in the 1970s they began preaching among you that studying is a sin. That was our work! Your own pastors, your own ideologues now kept you from studying, not us. We told you: learning is light, but among you it was preached that knowledge puffs up, while love builds up. And what’s the result? You have neither love nor knowledge—that’s exactly how we want you!”
“…I was surprised to learn that the Protestant emigration in the USA is saturated with agents (of Putin’s KGB) even more densely than the Orthodox, but for some reason no one knows about it. Some Protestant pastors here openly declare to their flock: like, the KGB works only among the Orthodox, but there’s nothing like that among us. But why? Can it be that the KGB, which eradicated religion, made a pleasant exception for Protestants?”
