Bible Note:  "Scripture yields other principles for judging whether movements are God inspired or not—principles about God's work, will, and ways that the Apostles themselves apply in letters like Galatians, Colossians, 2 Peter, and 1 John to various supposedly superficial versions of the faith [fads and movements]. Two basic tests emerge: one credal and one moral:

"The creedal test may be formulated from two passages, 1 John 4:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 12:3. The first passage says that any spirit—that is, evidently, anyone claiming to be Spirit inspired -- who fails to confess the Incarnation is not of God. The thrust of this fully appears only as we recall that for John the incarnation of God's Son led on to his sacrificial death for our sins (1:1-2:2, 3:16; 4:8-10), so that denying the former involved denying the latter, too. The second passage affirms that the Spirit of God leads no one to say 'cursed [anathema] be Jesus,' but leads men rather to call him Lord (kyrios), which otherwise they could never sincerely do (see 1 Corinthians 2:14). Both passages illustrate the truth that ... the Spirit's constant task is to make men discern and acknowledge the glory of Jesus Christ. So the credal test for all other professed Christians, is the degree of honor paid by confession, attitude, and action to the Son whom God the Father has made Lord.

"The moral test is given by statements such as those of John, that he who truly knows and loves God will show it by keeping his commandments, avoiding all sin and loving his brethren in Christ (see 1 John 2:4; 3:9, 10, 17, 24; 4:7-13, 20-21; 5:1-3)." --J. I. Packer
