I thought all the pastors fall into the above-mentioned categories

OR

if you know of one who is different,please tell us

if your teaching anything about christianity please keep biblical references. The bible talks about false teachers and prophets and anti-christs. And biblical teachings how to know them. Bible also talk about false brethren too.
1 John 4:3
    And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Seven Ways to Test False Prophets:
1. By their confession of Jesus (1 John 4:2-3)
2. Their relationship with the world (1 John 4:5; 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:4)
3. How they receive Christianity (1 John 4:6)
4. Their attitude toward the commandments of God (1 John 4:6; 1 John 3:20-24; John 14:15)
5. Love of the brethren (1 John 4:7-21; 1 John 3:11-16; John 13:34-35; John 15:12-15)
6. The indwelling Holy Spirit (1 John 4:4-6)
7. The Word of God (1 John 4:6; 1 John 5:10; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Cor. 4

A false teacher is not known by head knowledge put through the holy ghost and comparing his teachings with the bible.

Any pastor that preaches compulsry or mandatory tithing is most definitely a fake i guess this would eliminate all pentecostal and word of faithfraud"" pastors.

Very simple, any pastor that preaches what is unbiblical like the version of tithing being touted today must most definitely be a fake. Also any pastor that twists the word of God is a fake. As we all know tithing being preached today was twisted from the tithing instruction given to the israelites[not christians] in the old testament.

U know somtimes why I don't necessarily criticize pple. Evrybody grew up in different environment nd different churches. So, maybe u were brought up dat way...So, I can't argue wit u. But, I want U to take a look @ dose around U who pay tithe and also give freely, wat do u see in their lives? I can't convince u I don't do dat. But for me am a beneficiary of the blessings dat come wt tithing...I can say categorically dat my life has neva bn dsame. -------August21

There's only one way to identify a fake paster. Look at him.

By their friuts we shall know them, i am talking about the fruit of the spirit. Please read 1 Corinthian 13: 1-end. God bless you. God2man

The above quoted scripture talks about the importance of love in christian doctrine, it does not really address the 'fruits of the spirit' in detail. Galatians 5:22-23 addresses the fruits of the spirit better.

tithing is a conpulsery payment and not a giving by every citizen of the God kingdom heaven. so that is why it is very unreasonable to an odinary man. remenber a real christian dont fuction with the life of a man but that of a God in other words he is a god and a fellows citizen of heaven. therefore he/she must pay his/her tithe.its the tax paid in heaven by the heavenlis.not by mere human understanding. remenber the book of milachi3...hs ni tol
