Discerning False Converts: No Common Ground with Doctrines of Devils
A true believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the King James Bible will always divide from false religion. One of the clearest signs of a false convert is their attempt to unify Christianity with other belief systems such as Islam, Hinduism, or New Age spirituality. These individuals may speak glowingly of the "golden rule," claim that Jesus is respected in all religions, or argue that Christianity is about a general relationship or moral code rather than a clear, scriptural truth.
But Christianity is not about the golden rule. It is not about being nice or forming universal relationships. It is about believing the gospel and being eternally saved by grace through faith alone. That is the foundation of truth. Paul said:
> "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you... how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." — 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)
When someone believes this gospel, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit and saved forever (Ephesians 1:13). From that moment, Islam, Hinduism, and other religious systems that teach works salvation, idolatry, or deny the deity of Christ are clearly exposed for what they are: the religions of devils.
The attempt to blur these lines — to say that Christianity has something in common with Islam or Hinduism — is a tactic of Satan. It comes from the spirit of Antichrist and the influence of seducing spirits. The Bible warns us:
> "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." — 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
False converts are often the ones speaking these things. They push unity, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue, which may sound loving to the world, but in truth, it is rebellion against the gospel. These are the tares among the wheat — the ones who look like believers but are not.
Jesus said:
> "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." — John 14:6 (KJV)
That statement makes Christianity exclusive. It destroys the lie of unity between religions. Any religion that denies the Son is a lie (1 John 2:23). Islam teaches that God has no son. Hinduism embraces many gods and reincarnation. These are spiritual deceptions, not different paths to the same truth.
Therefore, a sure test of a true believer is whether they stand firmly on the exclusive gospel of Christ or try to find common ground with religions that oppose Him. The gospel divides. And it must divide. Because there is no fellowship between righteousness and unrighteousness, no communion between light and darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14).
The conclusion is simple: if someone believes the gospel, they are eternally saved and spiritually separate from the religions of this world. If someone talks about Jesus in Islam or Jesus in Hinduism as if it’s all the same, they’ve revealed their unbelief.
There is no common ground. There is Christ — or there is darkness.
