Since we have a topic on false prophets, let us established what
is the office of Apostles and Prophets
one thing we know, these are offices in the Body of Christ (ie.
Church ) given to perform specific tasks, to edify, build, and
guide the Church (ie. believers), and these 'office bearers' are
appointed and annointed by God, not men.
In the Early church, they are very active as they goes about their
tasks.
In the modern church context, is there still a place for these
office?
This is my personal opinion, In the past,
Prophets (mainly mentioned in OT) were needed to proclaim the word
of God to His people in regard to the things God wants them to do
or to follow or the things that will be coming.
Apostles (mainly in NT) on the other hand went about teaching,
guilding and prononcing the good news of the gospel, and about the
things that Christ had tell and/or show them, being the witness to
His resurrection.
One thing they do have in common is that God confirms their
appointment through signs and wonders.
In the current church context, is there still a need for them? does
God still appoints such office bearers?
There are many differing views on this, lets have a meaningful
discussion on this topic (and if anyone feels needed, can also
discuss on the type of things they do in the past as well)
God bless
