AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:5 Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, strengthened]. |
Subject: Why no prophets anymore? |
Bible Note: I believe the subject of 1 Corinthians 14: is languages,If a preacher or evangelist goes to a foreign country and don't speak their language he better take an interpreter or they won't even know when to say amen,all the prophets are listed in the bible, 1 Corinthians 12:28 Concerning gifts, And God hath set some in the church, First apostiles,secondarily prpohets,thirdly teachers,after that miracles,then gifts of healing, helps,governments,diversities of tongues. Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,and your old men shall dream dreams:As Paul is teaching spiritual gifts are give to who ever God says deserves them. I hope this helps thanks again, and God bless. |
