RD, I sincerely ask this. Are you claiming to be a prophet?
I was called to be a prophet. In the calling came a period of training. Observance. Numerous interviews by a group of fellow prophets. Recommendation by three recognised prophets.And an ordination ceremony with the laying on of hands. At the time of this calling and ordination, I was a member in good standing with a international fellowship of churches that moved and practiced the gifts. I have never stopped being a SBC preacher, but I have spread my wings and invloved myself with other SBC who do believe in anddo practice all the gifts.
What you believe, or don't believe, has little meaning to me either way. I do not use my gifts to persuade or influence others to live like me or believe as I do. Thus, I have no less a view of those who do not hold to the gifts or even believe in the gifts. I see my being blessed with certain gifts to be an enhancement of my overall ability to minister, but, it also does not make me better than, or less then you, whohave not been enlightened as myself.
I know you do not believe. That is your perrogative. But, don't try to judge me according to my gifts, becauce I would never judge you. We are all unique in His eyes. But no one is better than another. Prophecy is merely one gift. There are many gifts to be given, and behold. I rejoice in what I have been entrusted to use to assist others in the journey to glory.
Thanks for asking. No, be nonjudgemental, and let my gift not be something to argue over. Shalom!
