I think you are now comparing the gift prophecy to the word of a Prophet. To me, they are 2 different things. Prophecy can fail. We do have a choice when it comes to prophecy to follow after God, and see it come to pass. But a Prophet speaks for God. He is Gods mouthpiece to the church. IF he misses, it is because he is speaking words other than Gods. This disqualifies him from being trusted as a Prophet.

I have little faith in any minister that will say thus saith the Lord when it is not God speaking.
Prophecies do NOT fail. Prophets might fail, but prophecies do not fail. A prophecy is the LORD speaking what shall come to pass. If it does not come to pass then the LORD lied. That is why it was so important in the bible for a prophet to be tested as to his word when he spoke in the name of the LORD.

BTW what exactly is a hit and miss? is it that a prophet made up a prophecy? Is it that he just misunderstood what God said? Is it that God missed and told the wrong prophecy?
