The Gift Of Prophecy And Scripture

The gift of prophecy is an ongoing manifestation of the Holy Spirit within a Christian (1Co 12:7,10), compelling him/her to prophesy regularly (Ro 12:6, 1Co 14:39). The presence of the gift does not automatically assume one is a prophet, as Paul made a distinction in 1Corinthians 14:37 between “a prophet” and one who is “spiritually-gifted”. Certainly both have the gift, the difference being the prophet has proven spiritual maturity, reliable prophetic accuracy, and governmental recognition.

PROPHESIER

The term prophesier is a very generic term used by some to mean “one who prophesies”. The term makes no distinctions whatsoever as to who exactly is prophesying, whether a mature prophet or a prophetically-gifted baby Christian or even a false prophet. It is simply a generic term like "leader" or "worker".
