1 John 4:1-3

Test the Spirits

1Beloved, jdo not believe every spirit, but ktest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for lmany mfalse prophets nhave gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: oevery spirit that confesses that pJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit qthat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and rnow is in the world already.
