The Spirit of God has a richness all His own...one will know when one has entered into His presence...no words need to be spoken...the Spirit of truth that abides within each believer discerns the authentic from the counterfeit resulting in a confirmation in one's spirit or a check in one's spirit. The light of truth exposes the counterfeit.

We can't tell because there is exactly zero evidence that a spirit will come or that a spirit even exists. There are many kinds of unreasonable beliefs. For example, if I said that I had an imaginary friend, or that I could see pink elephants, or that I could feel the presence of 20 monkeys in the room, I would be condemned as a lunatic. Religious beliefs are no different.

God's spirit produces a certain ambiance ....atmosphere.
It is described in Galatians 5:22-23
"the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. . . ."
If the whole procedure is characterized by these qualities, on a regular basis, you got game!

We are told that we will know by the fruits of that spirit.

When we worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster , by cooking and eating pasta, we know that He is real because we feel Him in our stomach.
