I hope to comment on the rest later, but just one point. For Cessationists, the issue is not water baptism vs. spirit baptism. The issue is baptism in the Spirit subsequent to and distinct from the new birth. Water baptism does not confer the new birth.
I've never heard either the cessationists nor the charismatics ever argue that particular point as you've outlined it. Rather, my personal experience with cessationists is that they argue against a separate baptism in the Spirit to confer His gifts, or that if there was such a separate baptism, it passed away with the first century.
Based on this recommenation, can anyone name for us the "authentic" prophets in the Church today?
No one whose name you'd recognize. Those I'd personally vouch for don't seek the spotlight.
