Show Description

Does a single wrong prophecy make you a false prophet? Cessationists argue yes, but we’re examining examples in Acts that challenge this view.


We’ll dig into Scripture to understand how we should respond to prophecy in a way that remains biblical and faithful without quenching the Spirit. We’ll critique cessationist arguments and also offer guidance for continuationists on staying sober-minded (1 Thess. 5:19-22), testing prophecies against Scripture, and avoiding blending emotions with God’s voice to prevent harm.
