We discuss that the gift of discerning spirits follows prophecy for the reason that is involves judging prophecy. Prophecy as bringing forth implications and applications of Scripture must be judged. Other prophetic claims also confront Christians as words from God. The spiritual source of such claims must be determined.
This discernment is objective and based on revealed truth, not subjective impressions from the spirit world. We explain key Greek terms which are translated "discern, distinguish, test, or differentiate."
This includes citing passages which use these terms. The key application is that the Holy Spirit testifies about Christ. The church evaluates truth claims and spiritual leaders are not to silence the church. Rather every member is to be equipped to judge religious claims. By judging the spiritual source of religious claims the members of the body of Christ are protected from spiritual harm.
