What does the Bible say about prophecy in the church?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible commands us not to despise prophecies but to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22).

The Bible speaks clearly about the role of prophecy within the church, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, where Paul instructs believers not to quench the Spirit and to hold fast to prophecies. This underscores the importance of discerning and valuing the messages God communicates through His Word and His Spirit. Prophecy, in this context, serves to teach, encourage, and build up the body of Christ, reflecting God's ongoing communication with His people. Furthermore, it is essential for believers to engage with all teaching critically, ensuring that it aligns with Scripture.
