Spiritual gifts test

[Leonard]

I saw this thing 25 years ago, and thought it silly. Now I see it as harmful.

So, if you're a rude jerk who can't bring himself to have decent manners and treat people with respect...SHAZZAM!!! You're a 'prophet'!!!

Holy Toledo, let's not try to carnally discern spiritual ministries.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Guess I shouldn't hold back so. I need to get off the fence and tell folks how I really feel.

if you take this test and then think you can apply it as TRUTH, then harmful indeed. I thought it more to be a 'personality test'. An internet test can't tell in 10 minutes that one is a prophet...only our God knows our spiritual gifts as such. Joseph Smith swayed millions down a path because he claimed to be a 'prophet'. Scary stuff!

but faith tied with 'prophet'... now THAT really surprised me, it must be a gift i've never utilized!

I totally see that in you LadyC. A prophets main ability is discerning sin in other people.

1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Matt 7:1-5 (RSV)

Prophet

Evangelist

Knowledge

Discernment

Teacher

Not so sure about the prophet one

But most of the others seem to fall into where I have found myself over the years.

This test is just a measure of what your God-given aptitudes. Even BC we have these aptitudes in a worldly sense. Then, after coming to Christ He uses them for His glory... they way they were intended to be.

Sounds like you, too, are a prophet! Welcome!

Touche'! One Way. Sarcasm is a potent tool in the hands of someone who knows how to wield it!!!

Theres no place in the "modern" church for a true prophet, and most of those claiming to be prophets dont have a clue as to what it would cost them if they really were, and i doubt very seriously they would be willing to pay the price the call would demand.

There are prophets out there who have compromised and become apathetic right along with the mordern church of this Laodician age.

I respect all true prophets, although I've never known but a couple.

Prophet isn't a word to throw around lightly...... If God called you to move in this "gift", chances are the stakes would be too high.

My results were quite obvious to me I think. I am glad that you posted this. It is always nice to re-evaluate our gifts and make sure we are using them to potential.
