Your Sons & Daughters Shall Prophesy - Prophetic Gifts Today In The New Testament Church

Notes

15. For semaino compare John 12:33; 18:32; 21:19; Revelation 1:1.These references all indicate prophecy. 16. F. F. Bruce, The Acts of the Apostles (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1970 reprint), p. 239. 17. Gleason L. Archer, Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1982), p.384. 18.Bruce, Acts, p. 387. 19. McKeating, "The Prophet Jesus-II," p.51. 20.David Hill, New Testament Prophecy, p. 108. 21. Grudem, Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament, p.96-102.Although Grudem is an advocate of prophecy in the Church, he does seem to allow his belief in secondary prophecy (which is susceptible to mistakes) to make more of this episode than Luke or the early Church apparently did. 22.Robeck, "The Gift of Prophecy in Acts and Paul, Part I," Studia Biblica et Theologica l (March 1975), pp.27-28. 23.Apparently God was not confused about the prophecy! Note Acts 23:11: "That night the Lord appeared to Paul and said, 'Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have told the people about me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the Good News in Rome'" (NLT). 24.K.S.Latourette, A History ofthe Expan sion of Christianity: The First Five Centuries (Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1939), p.61. 25.Yocum, Prophecy, p. 58. 26. Jacobs, Voice, p. 103. 27.Bickle, Growing, p. 118. 2. An excellent in-depth commentary on 1 Corinthians 14, in both content and sympa thetic treatment, is that of Gordon D.Fee, First Epistle to the Corinthians, The New Interna tional Commentary on the New Testament (GrandRapids:Eerdmans,1987), pp.653-713. I also suggest C.K.Barrett, A Commentary on the First Epistle to the Corinthians (New Yark and Evanston, Ill.: Harper & Row, 1968), pp.312-334. 3.W.

ing, W.Robertson Nicoll, ed.(Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1951), pp.3-48. 2.William Barclay, Commentary on Acts (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1975 revision). 3.George T.Montague suggests the possi bility that this phenomenon was a miracle of hearing-that is, an interpretation of tongues in the minds of the hearers. Holy Spirit, p.281.I believe each hearer heard his own language. 4.The clear pattern in Acts and the testi mony of millions of people who have accepted this plan, acted on it and received the same phe nomenal results is so striking that it is hard to ignore. 5. E. Earl Ellis confirms my conclusion: "Probably the equation of the proclamation in tongues with prophecy arises because the vari ous tongues are, in fact, the native, understood languages of the respective hearers."

Schoch, who knew Tom personally. 8.This kind of experience is debated a great deal, but I can testify of its beneficial effect on my life.

(Peabody: Hendrick son, 1985), chapter 6. 9.B.H.Streeter, The Primitive Church (New York: Macmillan, 1929), p.73. He refers to "that outburst of prophetism which was a con spicuous feature in early Christianity" (p.203). 10.David Hill comments that '"being filled with the Spirit' would, in Jewish usage, be tan tamount to saying 'becoming prophets'...."
