Any trailer park trash can hide behind a screen name and say they are a prophet. I think it's someone who it having fun with an altered ego. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I think a true prophet would reveal his or her identity.
well, to start with we can judge any prophet and what they say by the Word of God. in the case of our current rambler, what the bible says and what the rambler says makes less sense than Harry Reid.
I agree. However, prophets are hardly popular and tend to be mocked and rejected by those who they are sent to. What if a true prophet were sent to AFF? Would we treat him/her any different?
I do not know how a true prophet would be received, but I do know that false prophets are treated with a kid's glove.
There are tons of false prophets out there, some of them parading on TV, yet where is the crowd of Christians calling them their true nature?
I am sure you know some of them who are popular, how come those false prophets are still around?
I am sick of those false prophets that say or write Jesus is coming in such and such date, and after the date passes, they simply pretend they never said those things.
Where is the uproar for throwing those prophets out of Christianity?
we have one poor deluded false prophet who is easily spotted, yet we ignore the gang of the other false prophets which actually are more dangerous and evil, for they are actually sending people to hell with their preaching and prophecies.
my friends the false prophets which appear true, are far, far more dangerous than our prophet of the seven spirits.

I believe that if a true prophet came to AFF, we'd not receive him/her well. We'd think they were a bit crazy. The conservatives would think they were too liberal (as the Pharisees did Jesus) and the liberals would think that they were too conservative (as the Sadducees did to Jesus). I think the prophet would be loving, boil it all down to the Christian basics, rebuke our traditions of man, our pride, our holding on to hurt feelings (bitterness), and our carnality. Yes, we can be a carnal bunch, let's admit it. However, a prophet would also make the way clear. We'd know what we should do. And it would be very very practical. Something we'd all essentially already know that we should do. What if Trying2DoRight was sent to stir things up and make us think? Yes, God used Balaam, God can use any wayward prophet. Also... we need to be wise... sometimes the Spirit is hard to interpret if we aren't really seasoned in the prophetic. What if Trying2DoRight is indeed "trying" and simply not interpreting the message properly or in a manner that does it justice?
I don't know... maybe I'm too soft. Maybe I'm just wanting to stop and think of the implications of what Trying2DoRight's message and purpose. Even a wayward prophet or a misguided and struggling prophet can bring us to introspection.
In the mean time... let's pray that Timmy be blessed and in good health. Let's pray that IF God drew a line, Timmy find the place where God will have mercy, and I know that God LOVES to grant mercy. Sometimes we can accuse a man or woman of being a false prophet... when God decided to have mercy and not do what the prophet warned of. In that we should rejoice. God is good.

There are LOTS of Christians that call these prophets "out".

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.
