THEACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THIS VITAL TRUTH IS ONEOF THE DIVINELY APPOINTED TESTS OF ONE WHO CLAIMSTO HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY."BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT," WRITES THE APOSTLE JOHN,"BUT TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD:BECAUSE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THEWORLD. HEREBY KNOW YE THE SPIRIT OF GOD: EVERYSPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME INTHE FLESH IS OF GOD: AND EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETHNOT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS NOT OFGOD." 1 JOHN 4:1-3.FALSE PROPHETS DO NOT EXALT CHRIST.
