Dear friends, This is a list of the largest 'churches' and real churches in the US. This appears to be the list from 2009. Many of the leaders, especially many on the first half of those on this list on this are snakes and wolves - enemies of the cross and message of Jesus Christ. There are some on here we have never heard of, and there are a few on here that we appreciate. However, watch all of them carefully - Popularity can collapse and shift any honorable teacher, as well. As with all teachers, we need to examining everything they say with the whole counsel of God's Word, because the clear truth of God's Word is rarely what the world calls popular. And always - If the world is saying well of them, we need to examine them more closely to see what they have watered down in their message. This list is who our worldly lukewarm culture considers to be leaders of leaders. Remember 2 passages as you examine those on this list: "For it's not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends." (2nd Cor. 10:18) And Jesus' warning in Luke 6: "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets." (Luke 6:26)

 

As you find who all are the false teachers on this list, please join us in crying out in prayer against them and working to expose their false teaching for fellow brethren to see and for the lost and deceived around us to see too! We need to continually ask God to tear down the false teachers in the US, and ask God to help more and more people catch them as liars and asking God to remove them and replaced them with honorable Bible students/teachers.
