Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?

allow them to leave in a state of confusion when there
is a discrepancy in interpretation? Are not those who
are mature in the faith able to quench any confusion?
And has not the Ministry been called out from among
the mature in the faith?

You seem to be implying that the "prophesy" is subject
only to the person that prophesies; well, it was more than
just implied. I am stating that if that were so, then that is
where any "tainting" and any manipulation may arise. Who
do you say are the "...spirits of the prophets...", if
they are not from the persons who are prophesying: then
the prophets to whom the prophesying and "spirits" are
subject, is to the Ministry. That is how everything should
done in order...

unless they are ill-prepared or insensitive.

Of course others need to judge the prophecy. That is why I quoted that verse that states others judge. I was distinctly noting it is not the one prophesying alone. The reason I noted the one prophesying has the gift subject to the person is to indicate we cannot rely upon prophecies 100%, The word must coincide with what is prophesied. And others use the word to determine that.
