1 John 4:1-4 NASB
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from 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 from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
Everyone has a spirit, but not everyone has The Spirit. A false prophet does not and cannot represent True God.
Not confessing Jesus Christ is the same as not confessing God, for they are one. The spirit of the antichrist opposes God and is an enemy of God. God says this in His word. This is the spirit of the world.
We in the body of Christ are assured of our place by the Spirit within that body. Because He has overcome the world, we have overcome the world. We are sealed in His kingdom.
