The last prophet was John Baptist and Jesus.

Apostles means = sent forth, discipline. There teachers.

Ephesians chapter 3.
Romans chapter 12


The body of christ has different functions and offices.

Some Christian people are pastors.
Or evangelists
Teachers
Deacons
No gender involved. Male or female

1 Corinthians chapter 2

You need holy spirit.

Many people have spirit of stupor. They can't understand deep truth of God's word.

Acts chapter 2 will document women as teachers.

In bible, Acts. Philip had 4 daughters who were teachers. They weren't prophets. Philip was a evangelists.
John the Baptist was the last Prophet of the Old Covenant to prophesy about Him. But now you are changing the New Testament to fit your understanding, instead of letting the New Testament teach you.

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

Yes, and these ministries empower the Church - and churches that deny this empowering, become museums of a faith that once was.
God's formula for success in preaching to the lost, is Love and Power.
There is no 'better way'
Love was never to be without Power, but power without love is deception and likely demonic.

No. I'm not changing God's word around.

God spoke directly to the prophets in old testament.

New testament
Body of christ consists of pastors and evangelists or teachers.

God doesn't go around talking to people. Only the false brethren are on ego trips. Saying, God spoke to me today. I'm self proclaimed prophet.

The body of christ has different offices. And different functions.

1 Corinthians chapter 2.

Many people have spirit of stupor. They can't understand the deep truth of God's word.

Only few have holy spirit. To have discernment and understanding.

Isaiah chapter 29.

Many shepherds have spirit of stupor. They can't understand revelation or old testament.

Just wanted to make a clarification.

Peace.

Sir. I have no clue to what your deciphering here. These are dark sentences.
God's election have trouble understanding dark sentences.

I studied underr pastor dennis murray/Arnold, shepherds chapel for 20 years. They teach sound doctrine, tell the truth.

Corinthians chapter 14

Charity is love. To love body of christ. To have humility and share Gods truth with lost souls headed for sheol.

Jesus taught in gospel of Matthew, about being salt of the earth. Christian may have to Rick the boat. Might offend someone with the truth.

Jesus offended the fake religious leaders, pharisees. They were at house, with the apostles.

Pharisees wanted to know why the apostles dont follow thier traditions and wash their hands before they eat.

Jesus rejected their traditions of men. What's defiling, is what comes from people's minds. Evil thoughts, plotting evil, mischief, stealing, etc..

Traditions of men is false doctrine.

Food isn't defiling.

God hates traditions of men and false doctrine.

Ezekiel chapter 43

During the millennium. Those who refuse to give up their false religion, and idolatry.

Wont be around for the eternity.

And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

Show me from the New Testament and the Apostle Paul's letters where the office of Prophet and gifts of the Holy Spirit stopped.
Simple. Jesus recruited apostles. They're teachers.

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of Luke
Gospel of mark
Gospel of John

Apostle means = sent forth, discipline.

Phillip was a evangelist

Stephen was deacon

The last prophet was Jesus.

Prophets had visions, and God spoke directly to prophet.

Apostle is not prophet.

They are different offices.

Then the office of Prophet is still in effect. Jesus is God. Don't lower Him to Prophet.

Duertonmomy chapter 18

Jesus fulfilled bible prophecy. As the last prophet.


Peace.
1 Corinthians 14:29
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

Acts 13:1
Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Acts 15:32
Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.

I'm sorry if you can't hear God's voice, but that doesn't mean I can't. I can. And everything He's told me has come to pass. It is part of our New Covenant.

In the Old Covenant only Prophets and Anointed Kings could hear God's voice. The New Covenant is so much better, and just as nothing ceased during the Old Covenant until the covenant itself ended, the same can be said for the New Covenant. The smallest change would require a whole new covenant, but it hasn't been necessary.

I hear the Holy Spirit, and I have dreams, and visions. I received the gifts as spelled out in the bible. I don't doubt some are prophets, not me, but I believe there are those gifts, same as tongues. All of those are around today.
1 Corinthians 12:7. The Apostle Paul wouldn't have said it if wasn't in existence.

I believe John the Baptist was the last prophet of the Old Testament prophesying of the Messiah. Jesus was not only the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies, but the first prophet of the New Covenant and God.

Isaiah chapter 40 to document.

John Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, messiah.

Duertonmomy chapter 18

Jesus fulfilled bible prophecy.

Both were prophets. They both are last prophet.

Were on the same page.

Hun, you are forgetting the Apostles of Christ. And you are forgetting Jesus returning to Heaven and sending us the Holy Spirit who can dwell inside us and does the prophesying.

Sister.

The apostles are teachers of God's word.

That's why we study the bible and plant seeds for God.

Pastor, and teachers are essentially the same office.

Romans chapter 12:4

For as we being many, are one body in christ, and every one members one of another.

God gives each individual different gifts and abilities .
One Christian might be teacher.
Another is a evangelist.

The evangelists teach milk of God's word and sends the new convert to teachers.

Another Christian is good at making money and donates to the poor.

Another Christian sings in the choir.

Each of us have different abilities and talents.

There's different duties for each member of body of christ.

Not everyone can be pastor or shepherds.

1 Corinthians chapter 12

As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, I don't need you. And the head cannot say to the feet, I don't need you.

Again. Jesus gave each member of body, different abilities and gifts.

One seen as weaker, is just as important as the eye or head.

We utilize our talents to serve God and honor, and glorify Jesus.

Each member has to carry their own weight.

There's different functions in the body of christ.

And 1 Corinthians chapter 2

Not everyone can have holy spirit.

Some people have spirit of stupor. They can't understand the deep truth of God's word. There stuck on milk.

Those who have meat of God's word, have holy spirit.

Revelation chapter 20

This is about the millennium. Priests will serve Jesus in the temple. The spirtualty dead will be taught during millennium.

Isaiah chapter 42

Jesus is coming as man of war. At the 7th trump. To establish his new temple, and kingdom.

Zechariah chapter 8 to document also.

The fake shepherds go to sheol.

The wicked go to sheol.


Its holding place for the spirtualty dead or wicked until judgement day.

Psalm chapter 9

Wicked go to sheol, called hell.

You are adding a few extra words there.

1 Corinthians 2:14 -But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
