Spirits should be tested before being believed, of course. Is what they urge you to do or what they assert to you, consonant with the Holy Word? If so, that’s a sign of a good angel or the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, they are evil....

Most people who claim an encounter generally have limited exposure to the Bible themselves...many go to church and let others teach them...but don't follow up on their own to see if what they are being taught is indeed as it is written...and fewer still seek God concerning what they read or hear.

It's great to say one checks with Gods word...easy to say...another thing to confirm it in actuality.
