Romans 14
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It is written:  " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me;  every tongue will confess to God.'

Philippians 2
    9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,  10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,  in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,  to the glory of God the Father.

2 John 1

7Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

1 John 4
15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.

1 John 4

Test the Spirits

1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Revelation 3

5He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
