Prophecy

It is my hope that the church may yet come to a balanced understanding of this gift as something valuable yet never equal to Scripture in authority, and always to be tested. Then the church may yet enter into a period where this gift is neither rejected, nor disdained, nor trusted a infallible, nor blindly followed, but earnestly desired and expected according to 1 Corinthians 14; 1, 39, and regularly tested according to 1 Corinthians 14:29 and

1 Thessalonians 5”19-21; and where it may then function as God intended, for people’s “up building, and
encouragement, and consolation” (1 Cor. 14:3).
