1 John 4:2-3

2By this you know the Spirit of God: aevery spirit that confesses that bJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit cthat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and dnow is in the world already.

2 John 7

7For emany deceivers fhave gone out into the world, gthose who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
