Deuteronomy 18 Test

The Deuteronomy 18 Test is one of several tests found in the Bible to distinguish between true and false teachers or prophets (as well as between true and false teachings). There are two aspects of the Deuteronomy 18 Test. The first aspect is this: Anyone who speaks a prophesy in God's name which does not come true is a false prophet. The second aspect is this: Anyone speaking in the name of a different God is a false prophet or teacher. A person should be tested against Deuteronomy 18 first. Only after the person passes this test can that person then be tested against Deuteronomy 13.
