Banks and companies are stepping up their fraud prevention programs, trying to reduce the incidence of fraud and related consequences. 

As Christians, we need to be careful not to be deceived. Scripture says that false prophets and doctrines will try to steal us away. Like a fraud prevention program, we need to be alert. 

So, How can we know if we are dealing with a true Christian?

There is a test that we can use.

”Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.“

‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
