2 John 1:10-11 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
As a general rule, believers are to be "given to hospitality" (Romans 13). We are to have open hearts and open homes, especially to fellow believers. One exception to the rule is false teachers - not false believers, but false teachers. In particular, those who stop short in their convictions on who Christ is - Creator, Fully God and Man, Savior, and coming Judge. Such teachers are to be persona non grata - not welcome. In our day, very few people have others into their homes, physically. But we do by way of TV, internet, radio and print media. Beware letting these false teachers into your home, mind or heart. And do not support them financially, or by having any of your resources go to their support. You don't want a share in what they are doing.
