Notes

• Verses and words (in parentheses) are illustrative or explanatory.
• Some spiritual movements have been led by the Holy Spirit, but some have been led by evil spirits. Some have been led by both simultaneously.
• Examples of spiritual movements led by evil spirits are secret societies, the Theosophy movement, Jehovah's Witnesses, ecumenism and transhumanism.
