There has been something of a tendency among some to equate prophecy and preaching or evangelism. Two prominent Sydney Anglicans, Phillip Jensen and Kel Richards, make a passing comment indicating that they approve of this equation in this talk (something like 160MB which could’ve been a 6MB MP3 file had they been more considerate).

why is there no marriage in the resurrection?
