Let's say, theoretically, a person claims to be Christ resurrected. He doesn't have any aura around him, he won't fly or perform any miracles, he will only speak...How would Christians know whether or not to trust this person?

They wouldn't know whether they could, and they wouldn't do it. Then he'd reveal himself to definatly be who he is and and teach all christians some morals and values, which then get documented as Bible 2: Faith-Fun

Matthew 24:26-27 (New International Version) 26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Most Christians believe this passage makes it clear that when Jesus returns, everybody will know. There won't be any question. Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

I'd say in that kind of situation, just follow your heart/gut/whatever. I'd like to think we'd subconsciously know if we were in the presence of a god.

Heck, I already tried that one. I kinda blew it when I pulled out the collection plate. Some of us Christians are pretty darn smart! :-) +5
