Notes

trol in their public ministries. See Hayford, Spir itual Language, chapter 7. 42. Cooke, Prophetic Gifting, pp. 156-168. 43.Russell Chandler, Doomsday (Ann Arbor, Mich.: Servant, 1993), p. 293. 44. Bruce Yocum also uses this illustration, and I notice other authors, too, have picked up on the "resonance test." Prophecy, p. 115. 45. Schoch, Prophetic Ministry, p. 17. 46. Donald Gee, "Missions and Prophets," Pentecost 10 (December 1949), p. 17. 47. Robeck, Prophetic Authority, p. 8. 48. E. Earl Ellis, "Prophecy in the New Tes tament Church-and Today," Prophetic Voca tion, p. 57. 49. Cooke, Prophetic Gifting, p. 145. Chapter 21: Who Judges the Prophecies? 1. Pytches, Prophecy, pp. 108-109. 2. Jacobs, Voice, p. 57. 3. As quoted by Bruce, Spreading Flame, p. 217. 4. Fee, The First Epistle, p. 660. 5. Harper, Prophecy, p. 27. 6. Weaver, Healer-Prophet, p. 8. 7. This list is a rewording and restructuring of "How to Hear and Receive Prophecy" by John Robert Stevens, Studies on Prophetic Utterance (Burbank, Calif.: self-published, 1967), p. 24. 8. Unfortunately the KJV has other in the singular; the NKJV correctly translates it in the plural. 9. Such as Aune, Prophecy in Early Chris tianity, p. 402 (#36); ArnoldBittlinger, Gifts and Graces (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1967), pp. 110-112; Friedrich, "Prophetes," Theolog ical Dictionary of the New Testamem, 6:855; David Hill, New Testament Prophecy, p. 133. James D. G. Dunn, a leading scholar in this kind of study, is somewhat evasive, but feels that "in the immediate context" of 14:29, this would be the meaning.Jesus, p. 434 (#113). 10. Fee points out that hoi alloi ("the oth ers") "basically means 'others different from the subject.' Whereas it could mean 'the rest,' had Paul intended that idea the more correct term would have been hoi loipoi ... [which] would almost cerrainly have meant 'the rest of the same class,' i.e., prophets. Paul's word could mean. . . in the plural, 'the others that make up the larger group.'" The First Epistle, p. 694. 11.See Dunn's discussion, Jesus, p. 233ff. Also, Grudem, Gift of Prophecy, pp. 70-72.

12. Grudem strongly contends that "'the others' refers to the entire congregation." Ibid., pp. 73-74. 13. Robeck, "Gift of Prophecy," p. 733. Taken from Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements by Stanley M. Burgess, Gary B. McGee and Patrick H. Alexander. Copy right© 1988 by Stanley M. Burgess, Gary B. McGee and Patrick H. Alexander. Used by per mission of Zondervan Publishing House. 14. Rowe, One Lord, p. 272. 15. Ibid., p. 272. 16. Yocum, Prophecy, p. 69. 17. The two terms are synonymous as seen in two texts where they are used interchangably to describe the same ministry: Acts 20:17, 28; Titus 1:5, 7. 18. Fee, The First Epistle, pp. 694-695. Also, note the confirmation by Chandler, Func tioning Church, pp. 91-92. 19. Everyone, of course, does not agree. Ralph Martin, for example: "We may dismiss the idea of a church hierarchy deputed to act as arbiters in this matter." Spirit and Congrega tion, p. 81. 20. Jack Hayford, "Despise Not Prophesy ing," Ministries Today (July-August 1989), p. 24. 21. This does not quench the Spirit but enhances the spiritual flow through proper man agement. A person can be inspired to prophesy and also patient and controlled until an appropi ate moment. 22. Yocum, Prophecy, p. 63. 23. Rowe,One Lord, p. 187. 24.
