​Mark 8-9

Mark 9: 38-40
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.  For he that is not against us is on our part.

Beware of false prophets.  But how do we deal with one who seems to be doing God's work, but is not a follower?  We must test everything.  If the message is of the Bible, it is good.  If the message is extra-biblical, no matter how righteous it sounds, it is not of God.
