Bible Question:
Hi there, I was asked if I believed we have prophets and or Apostles in this day and age. Before giving my answer I would like to have some Scripture to refer to my answer. I have been taught that there are no Apostles except for those in the old testament. As for Prophets, the Bible tells us that there will be many 'false prophets' as the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ draws near. Thank you in advance for your time. Incidentally, I don't need a long time consuming answer, just something brief with Scripture to back it up. I can do the rest of the research if necessary. God bless you and your ministry, I'm brand new and this is my first attempt to use your site and am looking forward to many more successful communications with you. Sincerely in His service, pastor Jack. |
Bible Answer: It is my understanding that all persons who Love the Lord and are servants of his word are apostles.In Jeremiah 1 verses4-5 God tells Jeremiah that "he knew us before he formed us in our mother's womb",and that he sanctified us before our birth.'To sanctify means to make HOLY.This was a key scripture in describing the omnipotentcy of GOD.Salvation,Grace and sanctification are gifts from God,not something that can be earned.As christians we are required to acknowledge the truth of God's word and familiarize ourselves with terms that apply to ourselves."one Holy and Apostolic Church"AKA"Christ"s Bride." |
