And yet, there were prophets in the New Testament. In fact, St Peter says in Acts 2:17-18 that God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh in the last days and sons and daughters shall prophesy. Named prophets of the New Testament include the Prophets of Antioch (Acts 13:1,8), Agabus, the daughters of the Evangelist Philip (Acts 21:9)...

(Yes...please show us your titled prophetesses running around today, please...who are they?)

The book of Acts reflects a time period less than 30 years after the death of Christ. It's entirely possible that each prophet or prophetess was both alive & set apart as one before Jesus' death.

That wasn't your challenge. Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors

"Gave" - past tense

As I recall, you were fairly rude about it, too.

You broke into a discussion of Sola Scriptura and have taken the conversation so far off base as to be unrecognizable. I'll read your next post out of curiosity... I'll have to see whether it will be worth my time to continue this inane aside. Good day and God bless you.
