There are two kinds of beings in heaven, namely: Angels, who are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones. 129:1
Secondly: the spirits of just men made perfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory. 129:3
When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you. 129:4
If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand. 129:5
If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect he will come in his glory; for that is the only way he can appear. 129:6
Ask him to shake hands with you, but he will not move, because it is contrary to the order of heaven for a just man to deceive; but he will still deliver his message. 129:7
If it be the devil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not feel anything; you may therefore detect him. 129:8
These are three grand keys whereby you may know whether any administration is from God. 129:9
