We Have Three Tests
1 – The confession of the divine Lord
2 – Possession of the divine life
3 – Commitment to the divine Law

1 – Confession of Christ
Demons will deny the deity of Christ
We can test any teacher by their Christology
This must include the whole package

1 – Confession of Christ
Jesus is God in the flesh Jesus is part of the Trinity Jesus is sinless Jesus is our satisfaction for
our sins In rejecting Christ – you reject
God

1 – Confession of Christ
Some theologians say that other people groups may not know Jesus
But they know God and for what they know it’s the best they can do…
They do not know God

2 – Possession of Divine Life Look at their life Are they regenerate? Are they bearing fruit? Do they hunger for the truth? Do they have the protection of
the Holy Spirit?

3 – Honor God’s Law
Do they uphold God’s law? Do they participate in the
Christian community of ideas or do they parrot the world?

In Conclusion…
What do they say about Christ?
What is their life like? Do they honor God’s Law?
