I know people that I consider apostles and prophets. They are not infallible. I do not believe the NT apostles and prophets were infallible --think of the disputes between Peter and Paul and Paul and Barnabas for a couple of examples. I do not believe everything they did and said was perfect and error free. I do believe that when Paul wrote what later became our NT, he was guided by God and kept from error.

You can be highly active in the gifts and be in major error. The Corinthians were told by Paul that they came behind no one in the use of the gifts but they were so carnal and were in sins that the Pagans werent even involved in.
Branham was highly gifted in Word of Knowledge but where he erred is that he didnt have anyone helping keep him in line on his teaching....he wasnt a teacher and should not have tried branching out in that.
