Bible Question: are there apostles and prophets today |
Bible Answer: Apsottles had to be a person witness to Jesus Christ and His ministry. Paul was personally anointed by those who had direct contact with Jesus and Paul spent three years being taught by the Holy Spirit. A Prophet that for saw the furture and preditcte Scripture was ended with Paul. Today there are so-called prophets and apostles, most generally those who accept experiences over Scripture. Revelation 22:19 is very clear about adding and taking away from the Word of God. Sadly too often man wants to elevate himself to high positions that were only for those who served at a specific place, and time in God's history. I see to many want the title of Rev. or Dr. I personally an content by Jesus calling me His child, or friend. I believe calling my Pastor "Pastor" No one is really reverend. Seeking a title brings a huge responsibility, and I surely do not deserve anything more than "servant". |
