1 John 4:2-3–"By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already."
I feel it is no understatement to say that nearly every direction one may find a so-called spiritual expert, a man or woman who views themselves and portrays themselves as a spiritual guide or, at the very least, one of the few who know about spiritual matters. It is this incessant inundation of self-promoting spiritualists that prompts me to deliver this essential passage. The single test for any spirit, any guide, any guru, or self-proclaimed spiritist is this simple evaluation: do they confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God in the flesh?
