We ought to be aware of those, who by their wrong teaching, would divide the body, would cause trouble in the body. We are to recognize them, know who they are.
Believers are to know what's going on.
We're to understand the issues. Believers are to be discerning-it's not an option. Any time you have doctrine presented, you're going to have division occur-doctrine divides. Those who teach contrary to the teaching that has been given through the Apostles and Prophets, are those who are causing dissensions and conflicts. I want you to note this-it's NOT those who are teaching sound doctrine, it's NOT those who are teaching the truth of the Word of God that are divisive, that cause trouble.
