Prophets in the church...Ephesians 4

[zone]

Exactly... the point that satan can "deceive" people with false signs/wonders such as divination to deceive people into thinking prophecy if being spoken... SHOWS us that God STILL has people prophesying..

it does?
no...it shows people have been taught to believe God has prophets revived today (the same false teaching which inserted a gap into Acts & Joel is the one which brought us Dispensational theology....which ties in with the overall modern prophetic movements agenda - see prior posts).

just because some denominations teach the Five-Fold Ministry doesn't make it so.

If God did NOT have prophets, then satan could not use divination to deceive people into thinking a real prophet was speaking. The moment a person began to give prophecy then BAM... satan is revealed.

um....there are no prophets today.
the church has not looked for them, nor accepted them for nearly 2000 years.
the moment a person begins to deliver a prophecy we can know instantly its false.

Since God still will speak through a prophet of God and prophetic words given to the Body of Christ, all the while satan is still attempting to deceive... that is WHY we are to TEST THE SPIRITS.

If God ended prophecy... then that means NO NEED to test!! The moment prophecy began, it could only be satan inspiring the deceitful words.

this is flawed logic, and really should be pretty clear evidence that there's really something wrong.

God is not the author of confusion.

what do we need prophets for?
everything is written.
my Bible nears the end with these words:

Revelation 22
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

and then it has a back cover.
finished.
