You'd have to listen for awhile to know for sure if someone is truly a Christian or not. Those hypocrites put on a pretty good show. Don't let them suck you in during their first act.
Ya, If someone has the anointing of God on them, I normally can pick that up, either on the person or in their voice.
Sometimes a person I meet is all flesh, and find out later that they are saved, but not with the program all the time. These are easy to miss as we know them by their fruit.
Now, I was at work one time as a server at the Olive Garden and I walked past a table and felt the presence of God. I just stopped and looked at this man and told him I feel the power of God on you. He looked at me and asked how did I know. The sad thing was, even though God was trying to use this man, He believed in those doctrines that women should wear long dresses and men could not even wear their wedding ring. He also believed nobody could be saved if they were Baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but must only be baptized in the Name of Jesus (As if the person performing the baptism had anything to do with the person receiving Jesus.)
Still this man loved God, and God did anoint him. So we have to be careful.
Jesus Is Lord.
