- Chad Bird and Daniel Emery Price stress testing messages by comparing them to what God has already revealed.
Signs Don’t Prove Divine Authority
- Daniel recalls Moses' opponents performing signs (like staff-snakes) yet failing the test of truth.
- He uses Balaam and the Egyptian magicians to illustrate that wonders don't confirm divine authority.
Compare Teaching To Scripture First
- Do compare every new teaching against the scriptures before accepting it.
- Study the Bible like the Bereans and rely on sola scriptura as the final test.
