And beyond that, whether it is possible for "all" to actually prophesy in the context of the use of the term in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. It seems that there is a gift of prophesying — it is not everyone's gift. And that 2 or 3 were to be designated to prophesy in a meeting — not all.
Is "all prophesying," meaning everyone present (whether you want to say can or should), actually taught? Or is that a misinterpretation? Not saying that it is always bad for any meeting to have what we would now call "open mic" or a testimony meeting. Just that I don't see it defined as the normal case.

I already responded in detail to this and explained my use of the term "all can prophesy" in post #31
