Prophets and Apostles are as much a part of the New Testament church as Pastors and Evangelists. I wouldn't dare mock or make fun of anyone who is called by either of those names. Why not let God be the judge?

I know Bro. Arcovio to be a prophet and anointed of God. I don't have any doubt of his ministry.

Holy smoke, this is from outta left field. So what made you appear and promote the warnings of mocking a prophet....a particular prophet, of course.....after it's been a dead thread for nearly a year?

Are you John? Or his wife?

Actually, it looked like you quoted Sam, but it was really Committed responding to Sam (Committed who may or may not be JA himself, or a member of his church).

When it comes to these "offices" we get too much into the "office" and "role." I also wince when I see Facebook Requests from people named "Prophet Apostle Evangelist Noelle Smith" or something similar.

What if they call themselves pastor, does that bother you also?

Your quoting is all messed up today. Looks like you're responding to me and not Esther. Get it right!

We see in scripture pastoring elders being appointed. We don't see any model for prophets being appointed. Usually "prophets" are self-appointed, and a little too in to themselves. Not the prophets of Old, nor those who prophesied in the NT (a gift available to all).

Back in the day, most "IT Guys" thought they were "God's Anointed" if not "The Almighty" Himself!
