This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.

These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
