1 John 4:1-3 Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because
many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is
not of God: and this is that spirit
of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already
is it in the world. (see 2 John 1:7)
