In some ways, that's a good question Alan.
Judging by my experience in the new age scene over the last couple of decades, it seems that many people become attracted to sources that aren't particularly expanded or pure in intent/motivation.
I think there are different reasons for this. 1., there are just a lack of more expanded and very wise sources in the world. There are far more distorted and imbalanced ones. 2. people tend to use their intellect more than their deeper intuition, and intellect can be more easily confused or mislead. 3. most people are decent hearted, and wouldn't expect others to be conning, deluded, and/or manipulative.
4. Like attracts, begets, resonates with, and likes Like law. Some more credible sources speak as if this world and system is generally populated by younger souls than mature ones. I think i remember reading that Tom Campbell says Earth/humanity is kind of like pre-k in the grand scheme of things.
Looking the overall history of humanity, i have to kind of agree with that. I do think that's in the process of changing though.
As far as how can you tell if a person is a true messenger of God, well according to Yeshua, you will know them by their holistic fruits. Truly positive and Love attuned people, will consistently beget/foster positivity around them.
However, this does not mean that such people become universally or even widely liked, respected, popular, etc.
In fact, often the more mature and intune a person becomes while in this world, the more a percentage of people react to them negatively, often in an irrational way. Why, because there is a greater difference of frequency, and just as Like attracts and likes Like, unlike tends to repell on the deeper levels. Since mature Souls are love based, they are not necessarily repelled by others, but those living in their shadow side often resent, dislike, or even come to hate those channeling and attuning to much Light.
This is why so many prophets, teachers, and society changers have been imprisoned, banished, minimized, demonized, and/or murdered. The list is quite long. Even Bob Marley wrote about it in one of his songs, "how long must we kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look.."
Perhaps the more sure way of figuring this out, is by attuning to and communicating with Expanded Guidance. I use a combo of Bruce's feeling/remembering Love (and/or appreciation), and specifically asking for help, direction, and guidance from only the most Source and Love attuned consciousnesses.
You can ask this ultimately expanded level about a particular teacher or source.
Speaking in very general terms, many of us, have our moments of wisdom and of acting as messengers of God, however fleeting or temporal it may be.
The folks you're talking about, came into this Earth, from very expanded states/levels and as humans attune a lot and deeply to PUL in a more pure and consistent way, and consistently express deeper wisdom. In my experience and perception, they are fairly rare. Many of them are not teaching in any official capacity.
At the end of the day, if another like Yeshua came among us, most would not know him or her. Yeshua only became known and somewhat accepted during his time, because of the constant miracles he was performing. Even with all those material demonstrations of his attunement to God, many still rejected, or even hated him.
We humans are a fickle and capricious lot, and speaking collectively, still prefer the known, usual lack of light over the blazing, white brilliance of Stars incarnate.
