The spirit of Trinitarianism.
"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God;
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God;
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 he should come; and even now already is in the world."
How does one rightly understand that passage of the Scripture?
If you interpret that passage just as it says or reads, then all Muslims, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Catholics, Trinitarians and all cults would speak by the Spirit of God.
They all without exception say that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
Everyone knows and even the date on the calendar testifies that Jesus Christ was born about two thousand years ago and so came in the flesh.
However that is NOT what it means!
1 John 4:2+3 Speaks of the Antichrist spirit who indwells everyone regardless of their denominational affiliation who does NOT confess, preach or teach that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY --- ONE --- TRUE --- GOD became flesh. Or the only one God who is the Holy Spirit came in the flesh, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The Antichrist spirit says; that the Lord God Himself did NOT come in the flesh, but that He sent ANOTHER --- PERSON His Son to come in the flesh.
This amounts to Catholicism, Trinitarianism and cultism.
Anyone who says, preaches or teaches that Jesus Christ is not the Lord God alone is speaking by the spirit of the Antichrist.
As I have said previously that the spirit of the Antichrist always diminishes the Lord Jesus of His supremacies and divides the Lord God the Almighty into two or three persons.
To discern the Spirit of God and the spirit of the Antichrist is not difficult.
Just listen to what they say and what they write in their blogs and books.
If they divide God, demote Jesus or even point to someone else than Jesus Christ, they speak by the spirit of the Antichrist.
Anyone who exalts the Lord Jesus to the highest place in all things and ascribes to Him greatness, majesty, honor, glory and power speaks by the Holy Spirit which is from God.
Anyone who has NOT received the Holy Spirit does NOT belong to Jesus (Rom. 8:9) and still remains in the Kingdom of darkness (2Tim. 2:26) and in desperate need for salvation.
(Acts 2:21) Whosoever shall call upon the NAME of the Lord (JESUS) will be saved.
Whosoever rejects the Lord Jesus will be rejected by Him and God's wrath remains on him. (John 3:36)
But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the power to become the children of God who are born not of the will of the flesh but of the will of God. (John 1:12+13)
