1 Corinthians 14:37

To be a prophet. All who claim to have received any of the gifts of the Spirit, but who refuse to recognize the instruction given by Paul as coming from the Lord, would thereby show that their inspiration was not from above.

Lord. Paul did not speak by his own authority or in his own name. He spoke to the Corinthians in the name of the Lord and under the inspiration of His Spirit. By accepting his counsel and obeying the instructions that came to them through him, they would show that they were willing to be led by the Lord. True faith will always demonstrate its genuineness by a careful regard for the commands of God. On the other hand, any profession of faith that disregards the divine commands, rejects the authority of the Scriptures, and pays no attention to the peace and order of the church, proves that it is not genuine.
