Galatians 1 (NKJV)
Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.) Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.” And they glorified God in me.
Galatians 3:1–5 (NKJV)
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
O foolish Galatians who have bewitched you?
There has been many false teachers teachings and gospels lets look at some obvious ones
JW
Belief on Jesus
Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.—John 14:28. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jehovah-witness-beliefs/
Mormons
Like most Christians, Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Creator of the World. However, Mormons hold the unique belief that God the Father and Jesus Christ are two distinct beings. Mormons believe that God and Jesus Christ are wholly united in their perfect love for us, but that each is a distinct personage with His own perfect, glorified body (see D&C 130:22).
Mormons believe that all men and women ever to be born, including Jesus Christ, lived with God as His spirit children before this life. God wanted each of us to come to earth to gain experience, learn, and grow to become more like Him.

Islam
In his mission as a prophet, Jesus did not bring a new or different religion, but rather like all prophets, he called the people to Islam, which simply means: Submission to the will of God.
Part of his mission was to confirm the revelation that had been sent down before him, in this case, primarily the Torah of Moses (peace be upon him). However, not all of the teachings being attributed to the Torah at that time were authentically from God, so Jesus highlighted for the people what was true and authentic, and he clarified and corrected the interpretation of the Torah and the way it was put into practice.
Additionally in his role as a messenger of God, he delivered a new revelation, the gospel (Injeel in Arabic), which served as a divinely revealed update to the Torah.
Muslims believe that the New Testament accounts of the gospel, imperfect as they may be, still contain aspects of that divinely revealed message, and for that reason must always be respected.
Jesus was given miracles, wondrous signs that served us proof to his people of the legitimacy of his Prophet-hood. In Islam, the first miracle attributed to Jesus is that he spoke to the people as an infant in the cradle. But the Quran mentions many other miracles as well, such as breathing life into clay birds, bringing a table spread from heaven for his disciples, healing the blind and the sick, and even bringing the dead back to life
Muslims do not believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) was killed on the cross.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was saved from crucifixion by divine intervention, and then raised up to heaven alive by God
Muslims also believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) will eventually return at the end of time during a period of great turmoil.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was a prophet, a messenger, and the Messiah. But he was not nor did he ever claim to be the Son of God, God Himself, or any part of a divine Trinity. Jesus was created by God and he was, as he himself declared, a servant of God. Muslims reject the idea of God having a literal son.
And if we went in to all the different denominations there are more so Why am i looking at this , well because I've been charged with speaking and as I quote very concerning things that need to be addressed , no other explanation given only by the one who made such accusations had previously questioned me about can I have any idea of what those may be
The continued work of the holy spirit as it Glorifies God whenever and whom ever He chooses to uses, and the reality of a deep dark spiritual warfare that we live in that we are in a battle with demons and evil spirit s that we war not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this air
This charge to me is of great significance as Paul writes here let him be accursed in the Greek that is dammed
Extremely serious charge as we also know that Ministers of the word will be held to a higher account
My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.
so what is a false Gospel in the church of Galatia it was the pharisees trying to reinstate the law over grace
They did not adhere to the gospel way of justification in which they had been taught,
It is not enough to know the truth and to say we believe it
, but we must obey it too. We must heartily submit to the gospel and steadfastly abide by, (The Gospel).
Here comes a new doctrine a new commentary church people flock to online stores to get one, a lot of the commentaries is not bible. New translations today are not the gospel. It is a false doctrine. Who have bewitched you? Why are you listening to their garbage, there are so many denominations out there who knows the truth? Let the Holy Spirit lead you guide you into God’s Holy Word.
Paul write in Eph 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
These pharisees were trying there best to accept christ and legalism to to follow christ and hold fast to religion , to rely on their own merit and not the merit of Jesus, striving by their own strength to overcome sin without relying of the Spirit of God to work in their lives , indeed they were working by the flesh and not of faith, What is faith ?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
we see it was by faith Abraham was accounted unto as righteous Gal 3
Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
another example of Abraham
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
We must be extra careful who we listen to just because they come using jesus name the name christian they say prayers does not mean they are of God they may be spreading a false gospel , doctrines of demons
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
So be careful
Real Christians enjoy great privileges under the gospel; and are no longer accounted servants, but sons; not now kept at such a distance,
and under such restraints as the Jews were
. Having accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior,
and relying on him alone for justification and salvation,
they become the sons of God. But no outward forms or profession can secure these blessings; for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
In baptism we put on Christ; therein we profess to be his disciples. Being baptized into Christ, we are baptized into his death, that as he died and rose again, so we should die unto sin, and walk in newness and holiness of life. The putting on of Christ according to the gospel, consists not in outward imitation, but in a new birth, an entire change. He who makes believers to be heirs, will provide for them. Therefore our care must be to do the duties that belong to us, and all other cares we must cast upon God. And our special care must be for heaven;
The city of God in heaven, is the portion or child’s part. Seek to be sure of that above all things.
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
