Revelation 2:1-7
We don't know exactly what the Nicolaitans believed, but it was obviously a false teaching. God commended the Ephesians for testing their teachers. Instead of blindly believing everything they heard, they checked to see if what was being taught was in accordance with Scripture. If it wasn't, then they refused to listen. We should trust those God puts in authority over us, but we have to be sure we're trusting the Word of God, not just the words of humans. Of course in order to do that, we need to know what the Word says.
Are you studying the Word so you'd be ale to spot even a minor false teaching if you heard it?
