Gnosticism

Gnosticism is a belief and religious system that exalts knowledge and revelation over grace and faith as the key to one’s salvation, and incorporates many philosophies into itself, especially heathenism, exalting heathenism above all. Gnosticism consists of Oriental mysticism, Greek philosophy, Alexander, Platonistic, Cabalistic Judaism, and other heathen philosophies combined with a perverted Christian thought. As such, it is nothing more than a deceptive form of heathenism that has tried to mutilate and make imperfect the gospel of Christ. Therefore, Gnosticism is another form of heathenism and is connected to all other forms of philosophies that are anti-God and antichrist. All of them come from the same source–Satan.
