Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
All Commentaries on 1 John 4:1 Go To 1 John 4
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God; and every spirit which separates Jesus Christ is not of God, but is of antichrist."
