Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:32

Theological / Devotional

Subject to the prophets. Apparently there were those who claimed that they could not remain silent when under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This contention Paul flatly denies. True prophets had control over their own minds and could speak or remain silent at will. Inspiration does not take away individuality and free choice. The human agent expresses in his own style and thought the truths that have been revealed to him (see GC v-vii).
