Re: Part-1: Jesus’ Definition of A True Prophet
Originally posted by sunera
An individual leading a church may appear to be a true prophet by the words which they use, the clothes which they wear and the place from where they preach, but if their fruit, or their followers, cannot heal others and do not receive visions of Archangels, then that individual is a false prophet.
* the "fruit" is not a leader's followers...
"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh ."
Luke 6:45
* the "fruit" is what comes out of the leader's mouth... we can tell if it's good or evil...
"If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine , whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him."
John 7:17-18
* the "fruit" is what the doctrine the leader preaches... if it's according to Christ's teachings or if he speaks of his own glory... 😉
