The characteristics of false teachers as described by Peter
deny the Lord shall speak evil of the truth covetousness
filthy conversation walk after the flesh lust of uncleannes
despise government presumtious self willed
speak evil of things not understood pleasure to riot adultery
words of vanity
This list will help me to avoid false teachings in the world today. We can tell who is a follower of Christ by their actions. If someone were to do any of the list above then they are not following Christ.
In 2 Peter 2:20-22 and D&C 82:3,7 it talks about those that have received Christ in their life and have turned away from it and returned to their way of life before. These scriptures state that it would have been better if they had not known the truth then to have know it and turned from it. As we lose the light of Christ and lose the right to have the Holy Ghost as our constant companion, I think it become harder to choose the right and the resist temptations. When we are followers of Christ be don't want anything to do with sin.
As a disciple of Christ we are expected to follow the commandments and
to follow the Savior in all things.
