Frank, I agree it’s our responsibility to try the spirits and God’s word tells us how.

 

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are from God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

 

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.

 

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come: and even now already is it in the world.
