This book examines Dr.
Wayne Grudem's controversial teaching on fallible prophecy in view of various lexical, exegetical, and historical points of analysis.
It also addresses the teaching's popularity and continuing advancement through many charismatics within the New Calvinism movement.
The doctrine of fallible prophecy is neither benign nor harmless, rather it constitutes a troubling strange fire for the body of Christ and continues to spread through the advocacy of popular continuationists like Wayne Grudem, D.
Carson, John Piper, and Mark Driscoll: Gary E.
Gilley, Pastor-teacher, Southern View Chapel, Springfield, Il: Beasley has done the church a wonderful service by producing this volume.
My hope is that many will read it and absorb its contents.

Chapter 1: Prophecy - A Test of Love: According to the proponents of fallible prophecy, the presence of error in a prophetic utterance does not make such claimants of the prophetic gift false prophets, it only means that they are New Testament fallible prophets by definition.
This constitutes a complete reversal of meaning of prophecy which results in a confused message concerning the nature and character of the God who has consistently and effectually revealed Himself through His appointed messengers.
Moreover, such a redaction of prophecy effectively confuses, and nearly eliminates, the scripturally prescribed tests for prophecy.
The importance of this must not be underestimated, for all of the tests of prophecy, in the Old Testament and the New Testament, have an unimpeachable centerpiece: the love of God.
Chapter 2: Fallible prophecy - Lexical Considerations: Grudem argues that the New Testament connotation of the word prophet no longer possessed the sense of authority it once had.
In view of Grudem's emphasis on this point, chapter 2 examines Grudem's lexical justification for such a position.
Chapter 3: Fallible prophecy - The Case of Agabus: One of the most central arguments for fallibl.
