We read in Galatians about a gospel which varies from what was tradition passed down from Paul and/or other Apostles. Even if an angel from heaven preaches it let it be "anathema" ( Gal. 1:8-9). There is another danger as well; that is preaching more or less scriptural truth but twisting the meaning of it. Such is an obvious aberration during Satan's discourse with Christ after 40 days fasting in the desert. The Spirit; BTW led Him out there so God was in control. Cherry picking is another favorite machination which only can go so far if "inquiring minds" wish to be Bereans. Such is the "custom made" preaching based on what is the underlying theme; i.e. elevating the Pastor means preaching about such matters while leaving out the rules for disciplinary action (unless it is mentioned only as a function to be directed to laypersons). We can see such tactics with prosperity preaching with isolated promises taken out of context. We won't ever hear in those churches any warnings about how Satan can grant us such wishes for his purposes of entrapment; however. We have the legalist who holds on to the saying "no cussing; drinking or dancing" while in the meantime being Parasitical in holding a position of control and fear over the congregants. The slippery slope of Apostasy always starts with a small amount of error being injected in then the preverbal camel begins to enter into the tent. This would be expected quite often with the muzzle on any "iron sharpening iron" of elders disciplining a Pastor; or heaven forbid a layperson (again done in the scriptural manner decently and in order). Elders also have a responsibility to keep error from within and without to protect the flock.
We all should work to edify one another; saying hard things when necessary in love. The moment a Pastor decides he is unteachable or can't learn through others something the Lord wants to show them then it is time to consider moving on.
