29.If the whole church is prophesying and new converts or the unsaved come in, what will take place? .

Back to Study the Book of First Corinthians

The unsaved person will be judged and convicted by those who are prophesying. The secrets of his heart will be announced for all to hear. He will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God indeed is among the saints.

Judging the unsaved visitor in the Spirit by all the assembled saints is the scriptural concept of a new-covenant assembly. This is in contrast to our current concept of rows of disinterested "Christians" sitting in pews while a "minister" teaches or preaches from the Bible.

In our current lukewarm situation an unsaved person can come and go at will with little fear that the saints will arise from their pews and broadcast the secrets of his or her heart.

Much more restoration must take place before the Church will be prepared for Christ to return from Heaven.
