Really? I don't recall hearing any prophet telling Japan God was against them and if they did not repent God would crush them with an earthquake...let alone that person being called a lunatic.
I mean had that happened then by now every one would know that person was not a lunatic
Were you in Japan? Do you know any Japanese Preachers? And just because a prophecy is fulfilled certainly does not mean people will accept one as a Prophet. I have a journal of my walk with Christ where many things the Lord has shown me have come to pass.

God gave neniva 40 days , with the world wide web, you better believe we would have heard some one proclaiming the destruction of Japan
Look how long Jeremiah preached, against israel and Isaiah.
I know God does Big things in Big ways, and always Ties repentance to it
look God said he would even spare jerusalem over One rightous person

Where you? Do you have specific knowledge of a prophet in Japan warning everyone and being dismissed as a nut?
Why can Harold Camping make international news but the prophet in Japan that warned Japan of this earthquake/tsunami is to this day unheard of, except for you?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
He killed my brother with cancer? And that was good?
God can and does bring good out of tragedies.
I don't want to trivialize his suffering or your loss-- or the suffering and loss of anyone in any terrible circumstance past or current.
However, the belief in the existence of an Almighty, All Power, Sovereign Father, Savior and Guide necessitates that realization that in good and in bad, our GOD has it ALL in control.
Even when it's not fair to our judgment.

That's not the same thing as saying everything God does, including allowing things to happen, is good.
"Everything HE does is good.
Everything HE ALLOWS is good."

If it's bad and it happens, did evil somehow trump God?
Did satan sneak a fast one behind God's back?
When the tornadoes struck Joplin, was God's master switchboard for earth malfunctioning?
When bad things happen here on earth, is God's Hands up in the air in exasperation declaring, "I just don't know what to do?"
