Two conflicting testimonies—can cause fear and doupt to once salvation

Two conflicting Testimonies about Jimmy Swaggart. These kinds of conflicting testimonies—one saying Jimmy Swaggart was taken to Heaven by angels, another saying he was in Hell—are confusing and can shake people’s faith if not handled with spiritual discernment.

These contradictory testimonies—one describing a vision of Jimmy Swaggart being welcomed into Heaven by angels, and another claiming he was seen in Hell—are clear signs that not all spiritual experiences come from God. The Bible warns us in 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
