I believe the man of God rather than the experts 533-2 - 7 - 3

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/man-of-god,:

1. a clergyman.

2. a holy or devout person, as a saint or prophet.

I’d believe the man of God, second definition, rather than the experts when it comes to who to believe. An expert has been described as “A squirt under pressure” or someone 50 from home; all too often correct! To me the test is who is speaking based on Sola Scriptura.

In his book Final Warning author Carl Gallups reminds us that “Jesus stood alone against all those scholars – and the scholars were wrong. Practically every one of the now-revered biblical prophets stood alone against all those scholars. And again, the scholars were wrong. The apostle Paul regularly proclaimed absolute heresy, as far as his religious-elite peers were concerned, when he insisted that Jesus was the Christ. Nevertheless, he was right, and the scholars were wrong. The wise men from the East were willing to go against the accepted dogma of all those scholars of their day, and they found the Messiah … the scholars did not.”

As an aside, Carl Gallups also authored the very controversy book The Rabbi Who Found Messiah: The Story of Yitzhak Kaduri and His Prophecies of the Endtime.

There is the group of “experts” called “Christ at the Checkpoint.” The first point of their manifesto is, “1.The Kingdom of God has come. Evangelicals must reclaim the prophetic role in bringing peace, justice and reconciliation in Palestine and Israel.”  Replacement Theology as well as denigrating God’s chosen people; no Sola Scripture here.

I tend to group scholars, false prophets, false teachers and experts together. There is the New Apostolic Reformation movement where the self-anointed anoint each other and so on. The few times I’ve watched Word of Faith tele-evangelists the word anointed is freely thrown around as is prophet. 2 Peter 2:1, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”

The best protection against false teaching is to study the Word and “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11.

CM reminds to be like the Bereans, Acts 17:11, "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

IMO, Jude’s book was written for such a time as this and written to today’s “The Beloved.” As believers we are part of the beloved whom Jude is pressuring to “Contend Earnestly for The Faith.” Jude was writing to counter the apostasy that was occurring within the infant church and the arrival of many false teachers; as it was nearly 2000 years ago so it is today.
