I Corinthians 12:27,28: Now you are the body of Christ , and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second **PROPHETS**, third teachers. Romans 12:4-8: For just as each of us has one body with many members, and those members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is **PROPHESYING**, then **PROPHESY in accordance with your faith, if it is teaching, then teach, If it is encouraging, then give encouragement. Ephesians 4:7,11-13,16: But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it... So Christ Himself {Not the church!} gives some to be apostles, some to be **PROPHETS**,some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ... From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every important ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!! Ephesians 2:19,20: Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and **PROPHETS**, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Chief Cornerstone! I Corinthians 14:1,3,4: Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially **PROPHECY**... The one who **PROPHECIES** speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.... He who **PROPHESIES** edifies the church! I Corinthians 14:22: **PROPHECY** is not for unbelievers but **FOR BELIEVERS**! Amos 3:7: Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the **PROPHETS**! I Thessalonians 19-21: Do not treat **PROPHECIES** with contempt, but test them all; hold on to what is good!! I Corinthians 14:39: Therefore, my bothers **BE EAGER TO PROPHESY**!! 2 Peter 1:19-21: We also have the **PROPHETIC** message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no **PROPHECY** of Scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation of things.. For **PROPHECY never had its origin in the human will but **PROPHETS**, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit! Matthew 10:40,41: Jesus says, Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me, and anyone who welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. Whoever welcomes a **PROPHET** will receive a **PROPHET'S REWARD**!! Revelation 1:1-4: The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this **PROPHECY**and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it! Revelation 22:7,16.18,19: Jesus says, Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this book... I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony **FOR THE CHURCHES**... I warn everyone who hears the words of the **PROPHECY** of this book. If anyone **ADDS** anything to them God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. {Which would include eternal torment in hell In Rev 14:9-11} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this book of **PROPHECY**, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book! New Covenant prophecies began with the Mount of Olives prophecies in Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21 and completely ceased with the last words of the Book of Revelation in Revelation 22 above in AD 96!! And anyone who **ADDS** new prophecies or **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from any of the prophecies in Revelation has committed an **UNPARDOHABLE SIN** A perfect example of this is how some pre-trib prophets **ADD** to Revelation 4:1: Revelation 4:1: John said in AD 96 when Revelation was written, " After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And a voice I had first heard speaking to Me like a trumpet {See Rev 1:10} said, "Come up here and I will show you what must take place after this!" Since a pre-trib rapture is not mentioned in the Olivet Prophecies in Matthew 24,25, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and in all of the prophecies in Revelation some pre-trib prophets **ADD** the ridiculous prophecy that John going up to heaven in AD 96 to learn what will happen in the future **ALSO REPRESENTS** millions of **CHURCH SAINTS** being raptured just before the beginning of the Great Tribulation??? The Post-Trib resurrection of God's saints is beautifully mentioned in the Olivet prophecies in Matthew 24:29-31, Matthew 25:31, Mark 13:24-26, and Luke 21:25-27 and in Revelation 11:15-18 and Revelation 14:14-16!! God's New Covenant **PROPHETS** must be very careful not the change or contradict any of the inspired **PROPHECIES** in God's Word!! Revelation 11:3: Jesus says, "I will appoint My 2 witnesses, and they will **PROPHESY** for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth. In addition to God's 2 **PROPHETS** {Moses & Elijah?} who will come from heaven to **PROPHESY** for 1260 days during the Great Tribulation, **PROPHETS** are mentioned 8 times in Revelation while pastors, teachers and evangelists are not even mentioned once!! {See Revelation 10:7; 11:10,18; 16:6; 18:20,24; 22:6,9} Revelation 8:2: And I saw 7 angels who stand before God, and 7 trumpets were given to them! {The fist 6 trumpets will be sounded **DURING** the Great Tribulation as per Revelation 8:6 to Revelation 9:21!!} Revelation 10:7 In the days when the 7th angel is about to sound his trumpet the **MYSTERY** {See I Cor 15:51,52} of God will be accomplished !{See Revelation 11:15-18} just as He announced to His servants the **PROPHETS**!! I Corinthians 15:51: Listen, I tell you a **MYSTERY**: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the {**7TH** and} **LAST TRUMPET**! {see Revelation 8:2 & Rev 11:15} Revelation 22:6-9: The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the **PROPHETS**, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must take place." Jesus says, "Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the **PROPHECY** written in this book." I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But the angel said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow **PROPHETS** and who all who **KEEP THE WORDS** of this book! **WORSHIP GOD**!" Amos 3:7: Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the **PROPHETS**! Revelation 11:15,18: The 7th angel sounded His trumpet {See Rev 8:2; 10:7; I Cor 15:51}, and there were loud voices in heaven which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ and He will reign for ever and ever!"... "The time has come for judging the dead, and for **REWARDING** your servants the **PROPHETS**and your people who reverence your name!" Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, “The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!” Post Reply
KJVonly View Profile History	**DO PROPHETS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE NEW COVENANT**?? Posted : 11 Aug, 2019 07:57 PM You have to ask yourself when the end came? Did the gifts cease as the Church was being established?. What some people today call “prophecies” are actually impressions from God. He can use impressions to guide and lead us, but they aren’t infallible and must always be tested by Scripture. God-given impressions aren’t the same thing as prophecies. Paul says the church is “built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets” (Eph. 2:20). We know that new apostles won’t appear since Paul specifically says he was the last apostle (1 Cor. 15:8). And when James the brother of John died (Acts 12:2), he wasn’t replaced. Apostles, in the technical sense, are restricted to those who have seen the risen Lord and have been commissioned by him, and no one since apostolic times fits such criteria. The apostles were uniquely appointed for the early days of the church to establish orthodox doctrine. There is no warrant, then, for saying there are still apostles today. Indeed, if anyone claims to be an apostle today we should be concerned, for such a claim opens the door to false teaching and to abuse of authority. Post Reply

Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. - Matthew 7 Post Reply
