So how do we identify the false prophets?


In these verses Paul warns us of false prophets.  Paul says that even Satan himself can transform into an angel of light. 

2 Corinthians 11:12-15(NKJV)
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

So how do we well true prophets from false prophets?  By studying and knowing Scripture.  The answer is in there.  One of the easiest tests is to discern whether they embrace or deny the divinity of Jesus Christ.  If they deny the divinity of Jesus then they cannot be a prophet of God.
