What was prophetic-school? It was an electronic community or kinship
of people who believe the Lord has given them some degree of
prophetic gifting. It provideds a safe (non-threatening) place to
learn to walk out and grow in that prophetic anointing. It provided
a place to build each other up and to encourage each other in our
prophetic gifting. It also provided a place to ask questions and to
share experiences and even to share words of knowledge, prophecies,
prophetic-school, visions, etc. with the group. It was also a place where
you can ask others for help interpreting a dream or vision, etc.
It was NOT a place for theologians to discuss/debate the meaning of
biblical prophecy. It was not a place for self promotion or building
up of one's own ego. It was not a place where every prophecy that
comes out has already been tested and is deemed 100% accurate. It was
not a place where you can test your prophetic material and then tell
your pastor/leader that they must allow the prophecy in their church
because it is tested... this group must NOT be used to usurp your
local pastor's authority. It was not a place to define theology or
new doctrines. The Bible is assumed authoritative as the word of God
and any prophecy that does not line up with the Bible is assumed to
be in error, period.
There was a leadership-core of Christians who are fairly mature in
their prophetic gifting. They gave input, guidance and
support to the group and helped us to learn to grow effectively in
our prophetic gifting. They also helped steer us away from
off-topic tangents.
The leadership core included:
-
Keith Gerner
-
Jim Paul
-
Rusty Russell
-
Teresa Seputis
-
Steve Witt -- as a consultant

Charter:
- It must be biblical. Any prophecy that contradicts the Bible is
assumed to be in error... period. The Bible remains our absolute
authority.
- No discussion will be permitted in this conference that questions
the basics of the Christian faith... they are assumed fundamental
and agreed on by all participants. These fundamentals include: God
exists as an intelligent and self-aware Being (as opposed to an
impersonal force). God created mankind to be in fellowship with
Him, but man sinned and this separated us from that fellowship
with Him. Jesus Christ is God incarnate, Who became human lived
among us and taught us and then died for our sins (because the
penalty of sin is death and someone had to pay it). Jesus Christ
then rose from the dead, forever conquering sin and death. He
ascended into heaven and will return again to the earth to reign
forever. In the mean time, Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to
indwell believers and to transform us into the image of Christ.
The same indwelling Holy Spirit also imparts spiritual gifts into
those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord. One of these gifts
is the gift of prophecy -- or God speaking through man -- which
is still active in the Church today.
- Participants must be polite and respectful and loving at all times.
It is OK to disagree with someone and to express that disagreement,
but it must be done in love and in a polite and civilized manner.
No flaming or personal attacks are allowed. In fact, no attacks on
any Christian leader or organization or denomination or move-of-God
are allowed, period.
- If you can't find a way to say it in love and in a gentle manner,
then perhaps it should not be said. Openly hostile posts will not
be permitted.
- Posts must be on topic. There is a wide range of on-topic for
learning to move in the prophetic. You may ask how-to questions,
you may as theological questions that pertain to the prophetic, you
may share experiences. This is NOT a channel to discuss or debate
or theologize biblical prophecy (for instance try to interpret the
end time prophecies of Revelation or Daniel). It is a how-to,
learning and practise group for those who have begun to move in
the prophetic gifting.
- This list builds community and is a place to support and encourage
each other and to build each other up on our gifting. However, this
list is not a support group for emotional or mental problems, and
is not a place to dump problems that are unrelated to the prophetic
gifting.
- Prophetic words submitted to this list are to follow the 1 Cor 14
guidelines. They are to be uplifting, encouraging, edifying, comforting,
etc.
- Since this is a list where beginners learn to prophesy and judge
prophecy, we do not allow words of condmentation, judgement, harsh
words or words predicting an upcoming disaster. (This is not to say
that God never gives this type of words. However, they are not
permitted on this list.)
- Realise that from time to time, someone will make a mistake or give
a word that is in error (or not really from the Lord). Remember
that this is a learning forum and that making mistakes is part of
the natural learning process. Therefore, we give each other -- and
ourselves -- the grace to make mistakes and to learn from them.
We will not disqualify someone else (or ourselves) if they make an
occasional mistake, providing they act in love and that they behave
in accordance with the prophetic-school charter. However, we
encourage the list-members to have a teachable spirit and to
receive feedback and maybe even gentle correction with humility.
Remember that the character of a prophet is every bit as important
as the gifting of a prophet.
- If someone posts something that you disagree with or find unbiblical,
do not post a hasty rebuttal in anger. Instead spend some time to
pray about it and ask the Lord to show you an appropriate and loving
way to phrase your reply.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS LIST IS NO LONGER ACTIVE BUT WE HAVE ARCHIVED THE TEACHINGS FOR YOUR REFERECE.
