Can something look holy, sound biblical, quote Scripture, and still pull someone away from Christ? In the first episode of Testing the Spirits, Bennett Tanton and Laura Baker examine what Christians often call the Spirit of Religion. Is it legalism? Pride? Control? False doctrine? Religious tradition? Spiritual deception? Or can several of these things work together? Laura shares her perspective from years of deliverance ministry and discusses how religious systems, agreements, traditions, pride, self-righteousness, and performance can distort a believer’s understanding of God. Bennett and Laura also examine an uncomfortable possibility: sometimes the person caught in religious deception sincerely believes they are defending God. This conversation covers: • The Spirit of Religion • Legalism vs. genuine faith • Pride and self-righteousness • Tradition replacing Scripture • Religious performance • False doctrine • Spiritual discernment • Covenants, agreements, oaths, and vows • Church structures and religious institutions • The Pharisees and religious hypocrisy • Paul’s conversion and spiritual blindness • Testing teachings instead of blindly accepting them • Examining ourselves before pointing at someone else The purpose of Testing the Spirits is not to tell you what to believe. Test what Bennett says. Test what Laura says. Test the traditions. Test the experiences. Test yourself. And compare everything with Scripture.

Test the Teaching, Test the Fruit, and Test the Spirits.
