Who ARE "the prophets" in Ephesians 2:20?

[ScottA]

Do you recognize "prophetic" words from God as spoken of in 1 Corinthians chapters 12 to 14?

1 Corinthians 14:3 NIV
But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.

1 Corinthians 14:29 NIV
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

Indeed, these are the pillars of the spiritual Temple for our hope, being built in heaven, as we precede from "strength to strength" (Psalm 84:7) unto God.

Who ARE "the prophets" in Ephesians 2:20?​

The definition of the prophet is to declare the word of God. And the definition of an apostle is one who is sent.

Can a born again Christian hold both offices? Most certainly!!

Matthew 28:19-20 reads:

19 Go ye therefore (sent), and teach (prophesy) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching (declaring) them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

To God Be The Glory

Concering those it meant the prophets in the torah , which of course POINTED TO CHRIST
and by apostels it meant MATHIAS cause Judas got replaced and the other eleven
NOW the question is
are there still prophets and perhaps apostels . Well sure .
But now for the part that will greatly anger many .
The ones i seen who cliam to be a prophet or an apostel
MAN I AINT SEEN A TRUE ONE YET . we gots lots of false ones that have long been at work and many false ones who still are .
SO the key is
IF ANY man cometh and says HE be a prophet or an apostel , YET HIS words and actions TWIST the original ones
DONT HEED A WORD ONE outta they mouth . WHICH means DONT HEED the nar realm
Dont heed them popes either . We better start testing ALL MEN
against what THE TRUE ONES SAID . cause men love to twist things . ON that they sure do , THEY LOVE TO TWIST THINGS .
