"Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don’t be impressed with charisma; look for character. Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.

Matthew 7:15 - Additional Comments

"False prophets" here means primarily false teachers about God and His ways. The obvious wolves are easy to avoid, but the deceptive ones, the ones who mix in just enough truth that it sounds right. These will destroy you. We are told that in the end times many will fall away through clever deceptions and miracles - Matt 24:23-26.
