Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether
they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the
Spirit of 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. This is the
spirit of the antichristÉ (1 John 4:1-3)
