About this resource
Prophets: Often Claimed, Rarely Defined What is a prophet—according to Scripture, not tradition? This stand-alone booklet cuts through the noise. Rather than baptizing bold preaching or vague impressions with the title “prophecy,” it returns to the Bible’s own definition and tests. If you want Scripture to set the terms—and to know how to evaluate modern claims—this is for you. This booklet addresses: Definition from Scripture: letting Deuteronomy 18 set the core meaning of “prophet.” What a prophet is: God’s words in a man’s mouth—an authorized spokesman, not a self-appointed voice. What a prophet is not: not a mere preacher, not a mystic, not morally infallible, and not a permanent office today. Tests for truth: source, accuracy, and doctrine (Deut. 18:20–22; Deut. 13:1–5). How to weigh modern claims: use the biblical standard rather than feelings, crowds, or headlines. What you’ll gain: Clarity from the text itself—no folklore, no popular rebranding of “prophecy.” A clean, literal approach that guards against reading modern notions back into the Bible. Confidence to evaluate anyone who says, “God told me…” by God’s own criteria. Key text: “I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” (Deut. 18:18, KJV) Format: Black-and-white booklet, optimized for readability and low printing cost. All Scripture quotations are KJV. Audience: Pastors, teachers, students, and serious readers who want a Scripture-first definition—clear, testable, and text-anchored. Note: This booklet is a stand-alone resource, not excerpted from another title. It focuses exclusively on the biblical definition and tests of a prophet.
