Infidel? If he is Jewish the Mormons consider him to be a goy. (no I am not kidding).

See post 1274 and please correct me but I have had Pentecostal friends literally address devils and ask supernatural entities “Has Jesus Christ come in the flesh?” as if this is the test of antichrist in John.

I think that is the “magical Christian” way of looking at it. I think John was encouraging us to test the attitudes and teachings of a man to ascertain whether they were of God or not, just as the Bereans “tested the spirit” of Paul when they first heard Paul preach about Jesus.

I notice the Mormon defenders on this site do the same magical thinking about this scripture text as did my luny Pentecostal friends.
