We need to be careful not to judge New Covenant prophecy solely by the standards of the Mosaic Covenant. Jesus fulfilled the Law and inaugurated the New Covenant (Luke 22:20; Hebrews 8:6–13). The apostles instructed the church to test prophecy, not automatically condemn the person speaking it. Paul wrote, "Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said" (1 Corinthians 14:29), and "Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:20–21).
Calling someone a false prophet is a serious charge. It should not be based on TikTok clips or isolated claims that a word has not yet come to pass. The biblical approach under the New Covenant is to examine the message, compare it with Scripture, consider the person's doctrine and fruit, and exercise discernment. We are commanded to test prophecy, not to despise it, nor to accept it uncritically. Jesus said, "You will recognize them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16). That principle applies not only to those who claim to prophesy, but also to those who claim to expose them. A ministry marked by slander, sensational accusations, and personal attacks should itself be examined carefully.
The standard is the same for everyone: truth, humility, love, and faithfulness to Scripture.
