How can I know that I’m not being deceived?
Is what I’m hearing supported by God’s word?

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
Galatians 1:8

Do I experience condemnation or conviction?
Conviction is from God while condemnation is from Satan.

There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Revelation 3:19
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.

Does it cause me to follow Jesus’ example?

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
