through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3to whom He also
presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 4And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but

2 Corinthians 12:12(NKJV) 12Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all
perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.
![Page 17: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

2 Corinthians 11:13(NKJV) 13For such are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
![Page 21: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Revelation 2:2(NKJV) 2“I know your works, your labor, your
patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say
they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

1 Corinthians 4:9(NKJV) 9For I think that God has displayed us, the

world, both to angels and to men.
![Page 23: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

1 Corinthians 15:5-7(NKJV) 5and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6After that He was seen by over five

James, then by all the apostles.
![Page 25: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Philippians 2:25(NKJV) 25Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and
fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;
![Page 26: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2 Corinthians 8:23(NKJV) 23If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my

![Page 27: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1 Corinthians 14:29(NKJV) 29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the
others judge.
![Page 28: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1 Thessalonians 5:20-21(NKJV) 20Do not despise prophecies.
21Test all things; hold fast what is good.
![Page 29: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
1 Thessalonians 5:20-21(NKJV) 20Do not despise prophecies.
21Test all things; hold fast what is good.
![Page 30: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“It does mean that prophecy cannot escape such evaluation; and it presupposes that there
is a deposit of apostolic teaching, a given content, that is nonnegotiable and can serve as the criterion both of further teaching and
of prophecy.” (Showing the Spirit pg. 130)
![Page 31: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“There is an important corollary to this testing. If this was the common practice in the
churches regulated by Paul, it follows that a prophet who treated his or her prophecy as so
immediate and direct and untarnished a product of divine inspiration that it should be
questioned by no true believer, would not only be stepping outside the Pauline
restrictions but would, presumably, ultimately fall under the suspicions of the church.”
(Pg. 121 Showing the Spirit)
![Page 32: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1 Corinthians 14:32(NKJV) 32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to
the prophets.
![Page 33: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1 Corinthians 14:30(NKJV) 30But if anything is revealed to another who
sits by, let the first keep silent.
![Page 34: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Matthew 16:17(NKJV) 17Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who
is in heaven.
![Page 35: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
1 Corinthians 2:10(NKJV) 10But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things,
yes, the deep things of God.
![Page 36: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Matthew 11:27(NKJV) 27All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the
Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son
wills to reveal Him.
![Page 37: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Philippians 3:15(NKJV) 15Therefore let us, as many as are mature,
have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
![Page 38: 1 Corinthians 12:25-31](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56814411550346895db0ae2c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
“Thus, when Paul presupposes in 1 Corinthians 14:30 that the gift of prophecy depends on revelation, we are not limited to a form of authoritative revelation that threatens the
finality of the canon.” (Carson pg. 162-163)
