Article: The prophetic calling of every believer

Here is an interesting article by Pastor Bob DeWaay regarding the issue of biblical prophecy. I guess the article speaks for itself.

Coming out a New Apostolic, Purpose-Driven background, I really like this phrase:

Despising prophecy is the refusal to allow the Lord's flock to bring the authority of Scripture to bear on one another and church leaders. This happens, for example, when a church member hears false teaching coming from the pulpit, does Biblical research to bring out valid implications, goes to the pastor and proves that the pastor has promoted what is false and the pastor refuses to defend his own teaching or listen to the evidence of the church member. The pastor has despised the prophecy of the member and claimed the right to give false prophecy from the pulpit and then furthered the sin by refusing to allow his own prophecy to be judged.

Enough said!
