Charisma and Character
Charisma and CharacterSteve Gregg

In this second part of his study on the gift of prophecy, Steve Gregg discusses the different lists of gifts in Ephesians, 1 Corinthians, and Romans. He expresses skepticism about the office of prophet and the difficulty in testing whether someone is an apostle. He clarifies the difference between prophecy and tongues, stating that prophecy is meant to edify the church, while tongues edify the individual. He also emphasizes the importance of discerning whether a prophecy is truly from God or not.
