1 John 4:2-3

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
