Discerning of Spirits
Morrish Bible Dictionary
This was one of the gifts in the early church, needful for 'testing the spirits,' because even then many false prophets had gone forth into the world. 1 Corinthians 12:10; 1 John 4:1-3 . This gift was especially necessary at the time when the word of God was not fully written.
