What sort of person are you? There is a sign in the Bible that should be posted outside the entrance to your heart: Watch out for the dogs! The Apostle Paul warned about those vicious scavenger dogs. Basically he was saying: Watch out for those who distort true Christianity!
The Apostle Paul’s Criticisms

Fight the good fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? What fight are we in, as believers? Of course, if we are not truly following Christ, then it doesn’t change things one way or the other – whether we fight the good fight or not. But, for those who follow Christ sincerely, it is incumbent upon us to fight, as 1 Timothy 1:18-19 shows us.
Calling out false teachers
Part of the mission of Christ’s followers is to teach the way of Christ – and to warn when someone is teaching “another gospel” different from what was written by the faithful early church. “Warning” about false teachers and false teachings — is a good thing we do. It is what “a good servant of Christ Jesus” does.
