1 John 4:1 trust Spirit prophecy
This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.

Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
