1 John 2:22

22 Who is a liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? ^{▼▼I.e. the Messiah} The person who denies the Father and the Son is the antichrist.1John 4:3; 2John 1:7

1 John 4:1-3

1 Test What People Say

Dear friends, stop believing ^{▼▼Or do not believe} every spirit. Instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.Jer 29:8; Matt 24:4-5, 24; Acts 20:30; 1Cor 14:29; 1Thes 5:21; 1Tim 4:1; 2Pet 2:1; 1John 2:18; 2John 1:7; Rev 2:2

2 This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: Every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.1Cor 12:3; 1John 5:1 3 But every spirit who does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist. You have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world.2Thes 2:7; 1John 2:18, 22; 2John 1:7
