Q&A: Distinguishing personal prophecy from adding to Scripture (1 Corinthians 14:30)

Winger acknowledges this is a hot issue in the cessationist/continuationist debate. He argues that not all Spirit-given prophecy becomes Scripture: Philip's four daughters prophesied but their words were never recorded. He argues that if their prophecy constituted new Scripture, we have lost Scripture — which seems wrong. Conclusion: God can speak to an individual about something in their life without that word being universal Scripture. He points to 1 Corinthians 14:29-32 as the biblical protocol: prophesy one by one, test everything, spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. Individual prophecy must be tested and can be accepted or rejected.
