Prophet in the Bible: Deuteronomy 13:1-5
In this Old Testament passage, God's people are cautioned to carefully test the words of any self-proclaimed prophet or religious leader. If a prophet's teachings ever instruct people to do something contrary to God's will, they are a false prophet and should be avoided.

"Test" in the Bible: 1 John 4:1-6
Not everything that claims to speak for God is trustworthy. Followers of Christ must discern carefully any person or source that claims such authority, checking those claims against what Scripture teaches. If a claim doesn't pass this test, we should steer clear.
