Philippians 1:15-18
Notice how Paul, an apostle of God, reacts toward those "out there," others who were apparently not part of "Paul's group" or were Paul's converts, those whom Paul was serving as an apostle of God. However, these others were "out there" preaching the gospel. They had the truth. Paul acknowledges that they were there, and he does not say they were false apostles or false ministers. He does disagree with the way that they were doing what they did. Yet God does not condemn them through the apostle Paul. Paul finds fault with the way they were approaching things, but not with the fact that they existed.
