We discussed false prophets and how to identify them. One of our members described ways to know you are dealing with a false prophet including that they teach a doctrine other than Christ, their behavior isn't Christian, and (most important), they forcaste things that don't come to pass. Some use tricks to get your attention (Matthew 24:23-25) and some try to divide the congregation (Romans 16:17-18).
We also discussed our continuing to sin even after we believe and are saved. 1 John 1:9 says that if we confess ours sins, he will forgive us or, as one member so succinctly put it, "We continue to sin but we feel bad about it and repent."
