[kjv] And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
[kjv] But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
4:1[hb5] 親 愛 的 弟 兄 阿 、 一 切 的 靈 、 你 們 不 可 都 信 ． 總 要 試 驗 那 些 靈 是 出 於 神 的 不 是 ． 因 為 世 上 有 許 多 假 先 知 已 經 出 來 了 。
[kjv] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
4:2[hb5] 凡 靈 認 耶 穌 基 督 是 成 了 肉 身 來 的 、 就 是 出 於 神 的 ． 從 此 你 們 可 以 認 出 神 的 靈 來 。
[kjv] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[kjv] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4:4[hb5] 小 子 們 哪 、 你 們 是 屬 神 的 、 並 且 勝 了 他 們 ． 因 為 那 在 你 們 裡 面 的 、 比 那 在 世 界 上 的 更 大 。
[kjv] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
4:5[hb5] 他 們 是 屬 世 界 的 ． 所 以 論 世 界 的 事 、 世 人 也 聽 從 他 們 。
[kjv] They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
4:6[hb5] 我 們 是 屬 神 的 ． 認 識 神 的 就 聽 從 我 們 ． 不 屬 神 的 就 不 聽 從 我 們 ． 從 此 我 們 可 以 認 出 真 理 的 靈 、 和 謬 妄 的 靈 來 。
[kjv] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Proverbs 30:5-7 (New King James Version)
5 Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
[kjv] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2[hb5] 女 人 對 蛇 說 、 園 中 樹 上 的 果 子 我 們 可 以 喫 ．
[kjv] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3[hb5] 惟 有 園 當 中 那 棵 樹 上 的 果 子 、 神 曾 說 、 你 們 不 可 喫 、 也 不 可 摸 、 免 得 你 們 死 。
[kjv] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4[hb5] 蛇 對 女 人 說 、 你 們 不 一 定 死 、
[kjv] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Count up your number of “yes” answers. If 4-5 you may be under mind control. If over 10 your group likely has serious problems.
How to protect yourself, your church and your community from mind control
1. Be informed. Know what mind control is and what to do about it.
2. Be aware. Be on the alert for warning signals of the abuse of time, abuse of intimacy, misuse of finances, etc.
3. Be prepared. Have plans for informing and warning others, both in your church and community (eg, a leaflet drop).
4. Be discerning. Find out what a group really believes before joining. Don’t let others take advantage of you in a time of transition or crisis - eg, a change in location such as a student moving to a university in a different city, a financial crisis such as losing a job, a change in relationships like a death in the family, etc.
