    Why is the Word of God necessary when considering prophecy?

    • It is not necessary to know the Word of God when prophesying

    • The Word of God shows us that prophecy is not necessary

    • The Word of God keeps us in line with the Will of God

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The Word of God keeps us in line with the Will of God
    Explanation
    The Word of God is necessary when considering prophecy because it serves as a guide and ensures that the prophecies align with the will of God. It provides a standard by which to evaluate and discern the accuracy and validity of the prophecies. Without the Word of God, there is a risk of false or misleading prophecies that may lead people astray. Therefore, having a solid understanding of the Word of God is crucial in discerning true prophecy from false ones and staying aligned with God's will.

    Not everyone who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit has the ability to prophesy today.   - ProProfs

    Not everyone who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit has the ability to prophesy today.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that not everyone who has the Holy Spirit can prophesy today. However, this is incorrect. According to biblical teachings, when someone receives the Holy Spirit, they are given spiritual gifts, including the ability to prophesy. Therefore, anyone who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit has the potential to prophesy.

    Not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the Old Testament, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit was not a universal experience for all individuals. Instead, the Holy Spirit would come upon specific individuals for specific purposes, such as prophets, judges, and kings. This is seen in instances where the Spirit empowered individuals like Samson or David for their roles. However, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit became more widespread and accessible to all believers after Jesus' death and resurrection, as promised by Jesus himself. Therefore, it is true that not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

    Is there ever a time when a prophecy should go against the Word of God?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    No, there is never a time when a prophecy should go against the Word of God. The Word of God is considered to be the ultimate truth and the highest authority for believers. Prophecies are believed to be messages from God, but they should align with the teachings and principles of the Word of God. If a prophecy contradicts the Word of God, it is considered false and should not be followed. Therefore, it is not acceptable for a prophecy to go against the Word of God.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible and it describes the story of the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. Therefore, it can be inferred that the 2nd dispensation, which refers to a period of time or administration, does exist in the Book of Exodus.

    What is the difference between foretelling and fortune-telling?

    • Fortune telling can only happen as lead by God

    • Foretelling involves witchcraft and demonic influence

    • There is no difference between foretelling and fortune telling

    • Fortune telling uses tools to predict the future

    Correct Answer
    A. Fortune telling uses tools to predict the future
    Explanation
    Fortune telling is the practice of predicting future events using various tools such as tarot cards, crystal balls, or palm reading. This method relies on the belief that these tools can provide insights into a person's future. On the other hand, foretelling refers to the act of predicting future events without the use of any tools but rather through supernatural or intuitive means. Therefore, the correct answer states that the main difference between foretelling and fortune telling lies in the use of tools for predicting the future.
