Thing is not everyone is hearing the Spirit of God, forums are full of false prophets, some are not very destructive though, like the slave girl
from whom Paul cast out the spirit of divination. She was a distraction and who knows what else would have happened later, and besides that she was under spiritual oppression.

Some things God will speak to you are also private.

1 John 4
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Here is how you test the "spirit".

Find out if they understand "Paul's Gospel".... and do they believe it.

Do they believe this......>>"Jesus who saves you, keeps you saved"...

If they dont, then the question is....>>"then who does".....and that is their issue, as they dont understand The Cross of Christ..

See, "Christianity" is begun.... and maintained by The Cross of Christ., that is the Blood Atonement.

This means that a sinner is saved by God's Grace, who is Jesus on The Cross............as He is Their Salvation.

John 14:6

Jesus's Cross (Christ's shed blood and death, and resurrection).... is the sole means whereby God and a sinner may become "ONE", .

So, you find out if they understand any of this, and do they believe it, and if they dont understand it, or deny it, by substituting some "other way i keep myself saved".......... then they are of the "wrong spirit"........even tho they might actually be a Christian, and might very well not be one, yet they believe they are a Christian.

And this we will do with the mind of Christ which we possess.

God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things.

These things we also speak
, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

The Holy Spirit in me knows what spirit is in or influencing another person. He does the testing of spirits before I can. He informs me of His findings so that I can know. Then I consult the Spirit of Christ to find out how He wants me to respond. It takes away the guesswork.
