False teachers have sought to infiltrate the church since its earliest years. Yet throughout history, these wayward teachers have not all looked the same, and they can sometimes be difficult to identify. In this message, W. Robert Godfrey discusses several pervasive heresies of the first and second centuries and introduces us to three defenders of the Christian faith who took a bold stand for God’s Word in response to these heretical teachings. This message is from Dr. Godfrey’s 73-part teaching series A Survey of Church History. Learn more: https://www.ligonier.org/learn/series/survey-of-church-history-parts-1-6
