You can even go further...
How can you tell if a prophet was really inspired by a god, or if the ideas he manifests came to him by some other means, like dreams, pure imagination, hallucination, deceiving intent, etc, etc, etc? I'm guessing this would fall under the category "false prophet", but I just want to keep it clear that this false prophet may not be aware that his claim is false... he may be perfectly convinced of the truth that he preaches.
