Then you are not reading the same bible I am
1Co 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
As I said we don't know the meaning of the gifts. I will take the bible definition. Like I said those that rebuke, and warn may also be word of wisdom, or word of Knowledge.
Bottom line when we lift up a person and call them a prophet, pastor, apostle, etc we are lifting up man instead of the gift, and taking the focus off of God.
Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
