- Title
Holding Prophets Accountable.
- Authors
Newton, Jon K.
- Abstract
This article addresses the key issues involved in the relationship between contemporary Christian prophets and the wider church in the light of biblical data, and information about the early church, on prophecy. Specifically, I consider how prophecies were evaluated in the Bible and the post-apostolic church, whose responsibility it was to judge prophecies (according to the New Testament) and the relationship between prophets and other leaders in the church. This also includes questions about conditional predictive prophecy. This article advocates proper respect for, and accountability of, modern prophets.
