Prophecy is tested; the prophet has no authority over the evaluation of their own prophecy

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 01:27:23 – 01:28:27

Mike explains the testing process for prophecy per 1 Corinthians 14:29 and 1 John 4:1.

Every prophetic utterance must go through a testing process by church leadership. The person who prophesied is not part of evaluating their own prophecy. This means the act of prophesying does not itself carry authority — it is the prophecy that carries authority, and only after ratification. This is profoundly different from the authority structure of eldership.
