PROPHECY
A) The true spirit of prophecy speaks of Christ’s comings, Christ’s
character, Christ’s salvation, or Christ’s persecution. 2 Peter 1:12-21; Acts
10:42-44; Revelation 19:10
B) Prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God
through the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:12-21
C) Prophecy is not from man’s interpretation. 2 Peter 1:12-21
D) Prophecy in the Bible is complete. Man is not to add or detract words of
prophecy from its contents. Revelation 22:17-19
E) We are instructed not to heed or fear false prophecy regarding the coming of
our Lord Jesus. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
F) Love is greater than prophecy, knowledge, and faith. 1 Corinthians 13:2
G) We believe that all the prophetical visions of the Old Testament; and all
things that were written in the law, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning
the Messiah, were fulfilled in Christ Jesus, the Anointed One. Daniel 9:24;
Matthew 5:17; Luke 24:44; John 5:38-40
H) We believe a true prophet prophecies Christ given peace. Jeremiah 6:14-16;
Jeremiah 14:13-15; Jeremiah 23:15-22;
Jeremiah 28:8-10; John 14:27
I) We believe that Christ is the true Prophet, Word of God, yet He was also the
Lamb that was slain, who took away the sins of the world. Christ is our Shepherd
and we are His sheep. Zechariah 13:1-9; Hebrews 1:1-3
J) Doing to others what you would have them do to you, sums up the Law and the
Prophets. Matthew 7:12
K) We believe it is wise to avoid false prophets and false prophecy. We believe
we may recognize these “trees” by their “fruit”. Matthew 7:15
L) We believe it is greater to receive a reward for righteousness than for
prophetic visions or writings Matthew 10:41
M) We are not to ask for signs, for only the sign of Jonah will be given. (We
believe this sign points directly toward Christ.) Matthew 12:39
N) We believe that many people will be deceived by many false prophets. Matthew
24:10-12
O) Beginning with Moses and the Prophets, the Old Testament concerns Christ.
Deuteronomy 18:15—20; John 6:14; Acts 10:42-44; Acts 3:22; Acts 7:37; Acts
28:23; 1 Peter 1:11; Luke 24:27; Luke 24:44; John 1:45; John 5:46
P) We believe all people, including prophets are taught by God. John 6:44-46
Q) We believe Moses and all true prophets testified about Christ. Deuteronomy
18:15—20; John 6:14; Acts 10:42-44; Acts 3:22; Acts 7:37; Acts 28:23; 1 Peter
1:11; Luke 24:27; Luke 24:44; John 1:45; John 5:46

through Jesus Christ! Amen. Romans 16:25-27

us. We believe Christ now sits at the right hand of God the Father as the heir
of all things. Hebrews 1:1-3
