A hireling, and not the shepherd

Does your Pastor preach against sin? If not, he's a hireling. One of the qualifications of a false prophet is they make merchandise of the people (ie. he's a hireling that is in it for the money).

2 Pet 2:1-3 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. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Notice in 2 Peter 3 it says with "feigned" words. That word means: Invented; devised; imagined; assumed.

As one old-time preacher once said, "Preaching is not a vocation, it's a passion,"
