  1. There are two kinds of beings in heaven: Angels, who are resurrected men, having flesh and bones. 129:1
  2. Secondly, there are the spirits of just men made perfect. They're not resurrected, but have the same glory. 129:3
  3. When a messenger comes to you saying he has a message from God, ask to shake his hand. 129:4
  4. If he's an angel, he will shake your hand, and you'll feel his hand. 129:5
  5. If he is the spirit of a just man made perfect, he will come in all his glory. 129:6
  6. Ask him to shake hands.  He will refuse to shake your hand, because it's against the law in heaven to deceive. But he'll still deliver his message. 129:7
  7. If it's the devil pretending to be an angel of light, ask him to shake hands.  He will shake hands with you, but you won't feel anything, and you'll detect him. 129:8
  8. These are the three grand keys whereby you can tell if a messenger is from God. 129:9
