Part 2 b - My brother believes in a false prophet

Further notes to add to part 2 - "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits"means that we souldn't believe everything we hear just because someone says it is a message inspired by God. there are many ways to test teachers to see if their message is truly from the Lord. One is to check to see if their words match what God says in the Bible, the living word. Other tests include their commitment to the body of believers, their life-style, and the fruit of their ministry. But the MOST important test of all, says John, is what they believe about Christ. Do they teach that Jesus is fully god and fully man? Our world i s filled with voices claiming to speak for God. Give them these tests to see if they are indeed speaking God's truth. Are they Bahais? Nope, they fall, sadly on the Most Important hurdle.
