Evaluating prophecy
According to 1 Corinthians 14, a number of questions may be asked when attempting to evaluate a prophetic utterance:-
- Does it glorify God? v25
- Is it in accord with Scripture? v37f
- Does it build up the church? v5
- Is it spoken with love? v1
- Does the speaker submit to the judgement of others? v29
- Is the speaker in control of himself? v32
- It there too much of it? v29f
