| Abstract
|
:
|
The Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, record God continually revealing his plan of salvation to his people and through his people. As Luke records in Acts 2 it was Spirit baptism that constituted the Church and caused it to missionize the world. When one closely examines the initial experience reported by Luke, Joel’s prophecy, and Peter’s reiteration of it, did not assert that those who received this outpouring of the Spirit would heal the sick, cast out demons, perform miracles, raise the dead, or even speak in tongues although, in partnership with God, baptism in the Spirit empowers believers to do such things. The initial, intended result of this outpouring of the Spirit was that both men and women would prophesy. What is it about prophecy that is so important that God would make it the centerpiece of the new phase of his salvation history? How is prophecy meant to be employed to implement God’s overarching plan of salvation?
