By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God

  Good morning. So how do we know whether or not it is the Holy Spirit or another spirit? By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God (I Corinthians 12:3 - no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed“; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,“ except by the Holy Spirit.); this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming and now it is already in the world. [My Bible says that by the statement “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh“, John excludes the Gnostics who taught that the divine Christ came upon the human Jesus at His baptism and then left Him at the cross so that it was only the man Jesus who died.] Father thank You that we have the Holy Spirit in us confessing that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
