Summary
Zac Poonen distinguishes between spiritual fathers and mere teachers, emphasizing that true spiritual fathers like Paul care for believers' eternal souls and character, while false teachers are motivated by money and concerned only with clever preaching divorced from godly living. The Holy Spirit, like Abraham's servant, seeks to protect the bride of Christ from deception and present believers pure to Christ, and Christians should test leaders by whether they genuinely serve the people's spiritual welfare rather than their own gain.
