Speaking in the Name of Hashem Without Divine Sanction
Exegetical Approaches
Acting Upon Hashem's Words
Even where Hashem's speech is not mentioned in the verses it can be assumed that whatever a prophet says or does in His name, did in fact stem from His command. This position subdivides regarding whether or not Hashem must explicitly direct the prophet or whether the prophet may intuit Hashem's desire from hints and allusions.
Explicit Command
A prophet acts on direct commands of Hashem.
Implicit Command
A prophet might apply Hashem's commands from one situation to another or understand Hashem's will from only indirect comments or suggestions.
Acting on Own
A prophet, at times, will act on his own initiative and nonetheless attribute the action to Hashem's command.
