They can and they do speak of Jesus Christ
Yes, ok I do agree they may speak of or claim to be some form of Christ. Most of the time they do not quote scripture. When is the last time you saw someone like Joel Osteen whip out his trusty KJV Bible and teach his church that in order to receive salvation they must repent of their sins and be saved by grace through faith or they are in danger of hell?
