False prophets give the appearance of being righteous, meek-like sheep, humbly following their master (Matt.24:24,11; 7:15; John 10:7,14). Inside their hearts however, they are extortioners who are filled with hypocrisy and disregard for God’s law (Matt.23:25,28; 2 Pet.2:1-3). Easy to immediately spot? No, because they present as ministers of righteousness, and no wonder…their father, the original serpent/deceiver also appears as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:13-15; 1 John 4:1; Matt.23:27,33; John 8:44; Rev.12:9).
So, how can you discern what is inside the heart of a person? By examining their teachings, their fruit (Luke 6:45; Matt.7:15-20; 1 Thess.5:21; Deut.18:20-22; 1 John 4:1; Titus 1:2; Num.23:19; John 8:44). Jesus is truth and his words are Spirit (John 14:6; 6:63). Using his words of Spirit will enable you to distinguish what type of tree you are picking fruit from and eat (John 1:1,14; Heb.4:12; Matt.7:15-20; Prov.18:21). Good trees produce good fruit that lasts, but bad trees produce bad fruit, teachings that change and rot over time (John 15:9-10,5-6; 1 John 2:20,27; Matt.12:33; 7:18,20; 15-7-9; Prov.18:21).
I invite you to reference this

Watchtower are the false prophet and they have deceived man, even the anointed
(Prov.18:20; Luke 6:45; Matt.7:15-20; Jer.5:26; Psalm 64:2-3; 55:12-13,21;
Jer.9:3-6,8; Psalm 140:3; Matt.12:34; Gen.3:1-4; Prov.18:21; John 6:63; 15:5,4;
Matt.12:37; 24:4; 1 Tim.4:1; 1 Thess.5:21; Matt.24:5).
