I John 4, verse 2 says, And the way to find out if a message is from the Holy Spirit is to ask, does it really agree that Jesus Christ, God 's Son, actually became a man with a human body? If so, then the message is from God. The term GOD 'S SON is another way of saying that Jesus is God. We know this because of what is written in Hebrews 2, verse 8. It says, But to his Son he says, 'Your throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever. And in verse 10 it says, LORD, in the beginning you laid the the foundation of the earth. And since jesus is the way God speaks to us, this is Jesus talking about himself. He is saying that since he is God, he will take the title SON OF GOD when he is on earth. This identities him with us, the son 's of men. Then if we or a pereacher agrees that God became a man and lived among us, then, that man is speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It can be no other way, because that is exactly what happened. Let me say this, running around the church, acting empty headed, does not mean that the holy Spirit is upon us. Making nonsensical prediction that have nothing to do with Jesus does not make us have the Holy Spirit either. Nor does falling on the floor by the power of who knows what. Only when we confess that Jesus is Lord, or that Jesus is our God who came to save us are we speaking by the inspiration of God 's Spirit. God bless you!
