(1John.4:1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Furthermore, The Spirit gives assurance(3:24). But how do believers know it is Gods Spirit, and not a lying one, who is assuring them? John acknowledges the presence of numerous spirits. Christians must be wary that they not be misled. The Greek grammar here may indicate that John is calling for a halt to a belief in spirits that was already in progress. This could have been a residual effect of those who had already left(2:19).
