Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God…
…they are from the world and therefore speak form the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

~ 1 John 4:1-3,4-6 ~
