It is reported that the Rebbe made predictions and performed miracles. Rambam writes (Yesodei hatorah 8) that signs are irrelevant, and Israel did not believe in Moses our Rabbi as a result of the signs that he performed. This Sabbath we will read in Deuteronomy 13,2: If there arise among thee a prophet … and he gives thee a sign or a wonder. And the sign or wonder comes about saying ‘let us go after other gods ….’. Do not listen to that prophet. So if a Rebbe lets his followers believe that he is a god, then they need to find another Rebbe.
