Is Prophesy for Today? A Biblical Case for Continuing Prophecy. Prophecy is one of the most debated gifts in the church today. Some claim that prophecy ended with the apostles, while others insist it continues in full force. Yet the real question is not what traditions say, but what Scripture itself teaches. The Bible not only affirms prophecy in the New Testament church but also instructs believers how to discern and test it.

Have the Gifts Ceased? A Biblical and Historical Case for Their Continuance. The debate over spiritual gifts is not new. For centuries, some Christians have argued that miraculous gifts—prophecy, tongues, healing—ceased after the age of the apostles.

Many churches today use the phrase “fivefold ministry” to describe the list of gifts Paul gives in Ephesians 4:11: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.
