anyways....I'll shorten it...
Has it changed since OT, NT, and now? If yes, why?
Yes,
In the OT prophesy usually looked toward Christ. provided new revelation, or warned of impending punishment if the children of Israel did not repent.
In NT prophets look toward the end. And helped to build the new church.
Now? Whenever God needs to direct someone, or to speak to another of Gods children. I do believe God can and will do this. As for warning. The church has enough warnings in scripture. If they will not listen to scripture. they are not going to listen to a man who calls himself a prophet. Thus no need for this type of prophesy anynore. As for new revelation. Scripture is enough. If God wanted us to know more, he would have added it to his word.
how would you advice a child of God to recognize false prophets?
A true prophet will know and understand Gods word, especially the gospel. and would not distort Gods word. A true prophet would not get mad when questioned. For they would not need to be mad. they would undertsand it was God they were questioning, not the prophet themself. Finally, a true prophet would not puff himself up or brag about being a prophet.
How would you lead a lost soul to the knowledge of Christ as Lord and Savior?
Depends on person. Some people need shown different ways
do you have visions and dreams from God?
Sometimes I think I do
How does God speak to you?
Through his word, through others in the body, Circumstances of life, and through my mind
do you believe the Bible is the authoritative word of God?
yes
What does the Sword of the Spirit mean to you?
The sword is the offensive/defensive weapon of the soldier in biblical times. The Spirit is the one who arms us with this weapon. Scripture is this weapon. Jesus used this when tempted by satan (it is written) I am reminded of a passage, Thy word i have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee.
Do you believe in angels and demons?
Yes, Angels are spiritual beings who followed God and rejected the rebelion. Demons are the ones who rebelled with satan.
what is the difference between prophecy and prophets?
Prophesy is a word given by God, God can speak through anyone at any time. One does nto have to be a prophet to be able to prophesy
prophets are people who have a special gift where they do this all the time.
