How do we know the doctrine of anointing is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of anointing is supported by Scripture, specifically through passages in 1 John and the Old Testament references to anointing oil.

The truth of the anointing doctrine is firmly rooted in Scripture. 1 John 2:27 says, 'But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you.' This assurance comes from the Holy Spirit, who teaches believers all things and confirms their understanding of divine truths. In the Old Testament, anointing oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, was essential for consecrating priests and the elements of worship in the tabernacle (Exodus 30:22-33). This typology is fulfilled in Christ and the experience of believers, who, by grace, partake in this anointing that sets them apart for God's service. Thus, the anointing is not just a historical or ceremonial phenomenon but a present reality for every believer who is united with Christ.
