I think the worst kinds of false doctrine are, as you said, those that some consider 'Christian' but aren't. They are more subtle.
I have always had a real big problem with '"Prosperity Gospel" which is taught in some big churches - namely Hillsong (as far as I know), that if you have true faith you will have a great life here on earth. From reading some passages in the Bible out of context, it's not too hard to get this message, but it is clearly out of sync with the Bible. I think some can also get too caught up with pastor's healing and the speaking in tongues. I"m not saying these lattter two are necessarily not Chrisitan, but they can be often twisted as such.

The belief that God wants to save all people, but will only succeed in saving some of them.
As if this life is a big ‘ol chess game between God and Satan, and Satan will take more of the pieces – against Gods will!

My family knows a transsexual who went to a church with a female pastor, who preached complete acceptance and was a lesbian herself. I notice this prominence in other churches with female pastors as well. However, that may be besides the point here, though it has made me a little wary of said churches.

Speak for your own American churches ! ..
We have women pastors in our churches where I live and none condone the sin of homosexuality. The one gay church that we have is entirely run by men !
while it is true that some woman pastors do this condone the lbgt, but not all. i was raised in the "faith" by one.Tina, your bible what version is that?
Romans 16:7
Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
In the Scripture above, the Apostle Paul is calling Junias, a WOMAN , outstanding among the apostles. I won't be surprised if some reduce this scripture to imply that Paul wasn't really talking about "apostles" !
