Verses 29-30 say, “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.” Two or three may prophesy, Paul says, and the others are to judge. Who is going to judge a prophet? Just anybody? No, one would have to be a prophet to understand prophets. It is the other prophets who would judge the prophet who is speaking to see if his prophecy coincides with the Word of God. We have no other standard by which to judge a prophecy except the Word of God.
