To measure whether something is of God based on peripherals such as denominations, dogmas, rituals, works, power, etc. is based on pride if we will admit it, and underneath that pride is fear. It is fear that has kept the world from knowing the Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16. If we abide in God and his love, there is no fear, because there is only one perfect Love and His Love casts out all fear.
1 John 4:1 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. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. (The Message)
