False teachings will never go away and will not come from outside. It always originated within the church. Many cult leaders were actually genuine Christians in the beginning. Jim Jones and his People Temple that led many to the suicidal tragedy was a conservative Baptist Pastor. Henry Drummond of New Apostolic Church was a devoted Pastor. David Burk, Moon, and many other church Ministers too were all respectful Pastors before turning to be cult leaders.
What had gone wrong? One single, common and major cause is the miss interpretation of the Bible. It is true that God can review Biblical truth to an individual He likes. But more often God does it in the Church, Bible studies, and Seminary where groups of God's people share and learn the Truth together.
No one will deny that God can heal you personally. But more often He will heal you through His chosen Physician. Seeking God's healing and refusing medicine help is the same as reading and interpreting Bible without the Church, Bible studies, and Seminary. You may die physically in the former case and spiritually in the later.

Would be nice of you to do some real research first. Henry Drummond never was a member of the New Apostolic Church. He was a member of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Neither was he a pastor before becoming a member of the Catholic Apostolic Church.
If you have ever read any of Henry Drummond's writings, you would have noticed that he could not be compared to Jim Jones. He did the lead his members of the Catholic Apostolic Church to mass suicide.
Henry Drummond did teach a Christina life that is today very different from the silly ramblings heard in the megachuches.

Thanks Gene genie, It's actually an insult to call Drummond a New Apostolic. The New Apostolics were a heretic schism that originated in Hamburg during 1863 after acting prophet Geyer's unauthorized calling of two Apostles was nixed.
