However much they should ever come to respect prophesyings, or public speaking, the Lord’s people
should learn proportionately not to receive what they might
hear without proper examination and criticism. They should prove
all things that they hear, should exercise
discrimination of mind, as to what is logically and
Scripturally supported, and what is mere conjecture and
possibly sophistry. They should prove what they hear
with a view to holding fast everything that stands the test of the
Divine Word and shows itself to be in accordance with the
holy Spirit; and they should as promptly reject whatever
will not stand these tests. |
