Editing Prophecy (section)

==== Later Christianity ====
In his ''[[Dialogue with Trypho]]'', [[Justin Martyr]] argued that prophets were no longer among Israel but were in the Church.<ref>''Dialogue with Trypho'', Critical edition by Philippe Bobichon, Editions universitaires de Fribourg, 2003, 51, 1-3; 119, 1-5 [https://www.academia.edu/7280008/JUSTIN_MARTYR_Dialogue_avec_Tryphon_Dialogue_with_Trypho_%C3%A9dition_critique_VOLUME_I_Introduction_Texte_grec_Traduction_Coll_Paradosis_%C3%A9ditions_universitaires_de_Fribourg_Suisse_no_47_1_2003_563_pages text online] ; Philippe Bobichon, "Salomon et Ezéchias dans l'exégèse juive des prophéties royales et messianiques, selon Justin Martyr et les sources rabbiniques", ''Tsafon'' 44, 2002-2003, pp. 149-165 [https://www.academia.edu/7758381/_Salomon_et_Ez%C3%A9chias_dans_lex%C3%A9g%C3%A8se_juive_des_proph%C3%A9ties_royales_et_messianiques_selon_Justin_Martyr_et_les_sources_rabbiniques_Tsafon_Revue_des_Etudes_juives_du_Nord_44_automne_2002_hiver_2003_p_149_165 online] .</ref> ''[[The Shepherd of Hermas]]'', written around the mid-2nd century, describes the way prophecy was being used within the church of that time. [[Irenaeus]] confirms the existence of such [[spiritual gift]]s in his ''[[Against Heresies]]''. Although some modern commentators claim that [[Montanus]] was rejected because he claimed to be a prophet, a careful examination of history shows that the gift of prophecy was still acknowledged during the time of Montanus, and that he was controversial because of the manner in which he prophesied and the doctrines he propagated.<ref>[http://newadvent.org/fathers/250105.htm Eusebius of Caesarea, Church History, Book V, Chapter 16 & 18] Montanus...became beside himself, and being suddenly in a sort of frenzy and ecstasy, he raved, and began to babble and utter strange things, prophesying in a manner contrary to the constant custom of the Church handed down by tradition from the beginning.... His actions and his teaching show who this new teacher is. This is he who taught the dissolution of marriage; who made laws for fasting; who named Pepuza and Tymion, small towns in Phrygia, Jerusalem, wishing to gather people to them from all directions; who appointed collectors of money; who contrived the receiving of gifts under the name of offerings; who provided salaries for those who preached his doctrine, that its teaching might prevail through gluttony.</ref>

Prophecy and other spiritual gifts were somewhat rarely acknowledged throughout church history and there are few examples of the prophetic and certain other gifts until the Scottish [[Covenanter]]s like [[Prophet Peden]] and [[George Wishart]].{{citation needed|date=September 2021}} From 1904 to 1906, the [[Azusa Street Revival]] occurred in Los Angeles, California and is sometimes considered the birthplace of [[Pentecostalism]]. This revival is well known for the "[[speaking in tongues]]" that occurred there. Some participants of the Azusa Street Revival are claimed to have prophesied. Pentecostals believe prophecy and certain other gifts are once again being given to Christians. The [[Charismatic Movement]] also accepts spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues and prophecy.

The [[Seventh-day Adventist Church]] is a denomination that traces its history to the [[Millerite Movement]] and the [[Great Disappointment]]. Seventh-day Adventists "accept the biblical teaching of spiritual gifts and believe that the gift of prophecy is one of the identifying marks of the remnant church." The church also believes [[Ellen G. White]] to be a prophet and that her writings are divinely inspired.

Since 1972, the [[neo-Pentecostal]] [[Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International]] has expressed a belief in prophecy. The church claims this gift is manifested by one person (the prophesier) laying their hands on another person, who receives an individual message said by the prophesier. Prophesiers are believed to be used by the [[Holy Spirit (Christianity)|Holy Ghost]] as instruments through whom their God expresses his promises, advice and commandments. The church claims people receive messages about their future, in the form of promises given by their God and expected to be fulfilled by divine action.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idmji.org/index.php/en/historiaiglesia|title=Iglesia de Dios Ministerial de Jesucristo Internacional - History|date=October 25, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025080417/http://www.idmji.org/index.php/en/historiaiglesia |archive-date=25 October 2012 }}</ref>
