Why would you want to know?
You are missing my point. Totally...
You've made it out that I don't believe in the gifts, when our church has been practicing them consistently.
You've then thought me to be confused in reference to the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet.

Keith, my question to you since you seem to be an expert on the subject....
What are the distinguishing marks of one who fulfills the office of the NT prophet? If that individual misses fairly often, does not the Body of Christ have the right and obligation to question that person's claim to be a NT prophet?

My point being, you most likely consider you pastor to be your prophet, which is fine by me, but your standard of absolute perfection would dis-qualify him that office, becasue you and I both know that he has missed it,  , right!

My pastor does not fulfill the office of NT prophet.
Please answer my question. I would really like to know.
Oh, and the prophet who God has chosen to speak in my life has never missed it in a "this sayeth the Lord" moment, in reference to us, our ministry or our church. I have not gone throughout the churches he's ministered in and asked everyone, in order to administer the prophet test...

1. Someone called by God to that office
2. Consistent use of the Gift of prophecy, the body of Christ will recognize this.
3. Consistent accuracy in that gift, the criteria being edification, comfort and exhortation. They will be more on than off, but they will grow in their gifting. No conference preacher started in that level of authority or no teacher started at that level, but as the exercised their gifting the grew up their gift and became more mature and authoritative.
4. The openess to have their words tested and weighed ( I Cor. 14; I Thess. 5)
