8. What are the tests for the genuine gift of prophecy?

As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves . . . Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.
