Hi, Devon... John Gill comments thusly on this verse, "The apostle having finished the rules for streaking with an unknown tongue, proceeds to lay down some for the gift of prophesying; and observes, that where there are a number of prophets, as very likely there were in the church at Corinth, two or three of them might prophesy, or explain the prophecies of the Old Testament, or preach the Gospel at one opportunity or meeting: he does not use that restrictive clause, 'at most', as before, because if there was any necessity or occasion for it, more might be employed, so that care was taken not to burden the people, and send them away loathing; and this they were to do, as before, in course, one after another, otherwise it would be all confusion, nor could they be heard to edification. Though some have thought that they might speak together at one and the same time, in different parts of the church. The other prophets that sit and hear, and all such as have a spirit of discerning, whether what the prophets say comes from their own spirits, or from a lying spirit, from the spirit of antichrist, or whether from the Spirit of God; and even the body of the people, private members of the church, and hearers, might judge of the doctrine for themselves, according to the word of God, the standard of faith and practice; and were not to believe every spirit, but try them, whether they were of God, and their doctrines by his word, whether they were true or false; for the spiritual man is in a measure capable of judging all things of a spiritual kind, through that spiritual experience he has of the word of God, and divine things, and by the assistance of the Spirit of God." In Him, Doc |

God bless, Doc I'm confused, I don't understand if you are saying that they don't exist any more or they still do exist at this moment? I do not want to start any arguments, but I do have concern, and I don't like to stay with any doubts in mind. I was raised in life that the way of learning is by asking when your not sure about something, rather than not asking and learning things the incorrect way. That said I thank you in advance, and pray the Lord to Bless you. Humble servant of God, Jesus777 |

Hi, there... I was quoting John Gill, one of our more important Baptist forefathers, from his exposition of 1 Corinthians 14. You can read the whole thing here: http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/1corinthians/gill/1corinthians14.htm In Him, Doc |
