In the Vedas a soul empowered by God is called Avatar ( One who descends to earth ) to establish eternal principles.

There are of course many bogus cheaters who claim this but it is easy to identify the truth, just in the way Jesus stated in your qoute.

And also, a genuine Avatar will display miracles, and is also empowered to attract millions of devotees. Jesus fits these requirements in every way, there is no doubt he is the genuine article.

It should be made clear however that we are Gods only in the sense that we are part and parcel of God and not of course God himself.

If anyone claims to be God, just ask them to perform a miracle!

Believe it or not there are people that perform miracles however, they don't claim it's "them" who's performing it, but the power of God manifesting/using "them".

Mark 16:17-18 (Contemporary English Version)

17. Everyone who believes me will be able to do wonderful things. By using my name they will force out demons, and they will speak new languages.

18. They will handle snakes and will drink poison and not be hurt. They will also heal sick people by placing their hands on them.

John 14:11-14 (Contemporary English Version)

11. Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do.

12. I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father.

13. Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask. This way the Son will bring honor to the Father.

14. I will do whatever you ask me to do.
