To read page 11 second paragraph does not have anythi to do with prophecying. No seeking, no inspiration, no praying, just talk and you know it. This thing of picking a few words from the holy Writ and making a doctrine is so poor. Some time when sober read the whole contect of "all can prophecy." Also read 1 Cor 15 :45 and what the Lord said on the day of His resurection in Luke. I'm not saying Jesus didn't agree with Paul but I would say as Stephen Kaung advised WL, be careful about making that one of your major verses for separation. This picking and choosing is really sickening. Read the context of the all inclusive doctrine in 1 Tim 1 on economy. In my 40 years in LC I never once heard the two verses quoted which is very very bad.

To prophesy is to love:
1 Cor 14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
strengthening, encouraging and comfort by prophesying is a loving thing to do.
