There is an aspect to rationalization that conditions us toward an acceptance of false prophets. Jesus said that at the time of the end there would be many of these false prophets and he said that they would deceive many people. In fact we think nothing of requiring every child to spend their first 17 to 24 years being indoctrinated in the principals professed in the philosophies of these false prophets, and then we wonder what has happened to our world. Jesus said one of the things which we should look for is the rise of false prophets in the world. It is important to understand the difference between false doctrine and false prophecy.
False doctrine means that the teaching is false, false prophecy means the prophet is false.
This is false doctrine, and it originates with the rationalization of the supernatural powers given by the Holy Spirit to certain believers through whom He has chosen to reveal some future time or event. I realize that most serious scholarship will label this opinion concerning continuous prophecy to be the same kind of doctrine that was part of the late second century Phrygian schism called Montanism, but I have to believe in continued prophecy unless I can find where Jesus has said that Holy Spirit would at some point in time cease such revelation. The book of Acts records some of the times where these prophets would come and testify to the various churches, for example they often predicted the capture of the Apostle Paul when he returned to Jerusalem. These prophets were mostly unnamed Christians through whom the Holy Spirit revealed some future event. This passage gives the primary test of a prophet to be his faithfulness to Almighty God and not the fact that his prophecy comes to pass.
