There Has Been A Change

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

IMO, the instruction in 1Co 14: 29-32 (above) is a non-concept in our gatherings (the exception proves the general statement). Since 1C0 14 is loaded with instruction on how life should be conducted during those times when “… the whole church be come together into one place…”, our La District camp meeting seems to be a location where it has application.

Also IMO, this thread was a form of this happening with a system that does not have any structural tradition or expectation for it to happen.

If we have folks just declaring what they “feel” is needed we should also have ‘double’ the amount of folks judging the utterance of the prophet.

Hey, I know I am a crazy dreamer and besides, “wouldn’t those persons be JUDGING and we know the earth will open up if the anointed get TOUCHED! GAAAASSSSSPPP, Korah, you and your family go back to the pit!

Even worse than these typical rhetorical countermeasures being released, this same thread even considered a need for “civil legal involvement”. Wowsy, wow, wow, the only thing more extrabiblical then that approach would be to evoke RULE over one another in some new denominal heirarchy.


Our zeal for prophesy is wonderful. Our zeal for prophets is vile.


Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church

Excellent response.
