Ephesians 2:19-22
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Ephesians 3:5
which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
The church has been ( PAST ) built upon the FOUNDATION of both the Apostles and Prophets. The foundation has been laid and completed. There are no more Apostles and Prophets bringing new Revelations from God by Miracles, signs and wonders predicting the future and speaking for God today. Those functions have ceased with the passing of John the last Prophet and Apostle who gave us the book of prophecy- the Revelations.
Are there true prophets today? If the purpose of a prophet was to reveal truth from God, why would we need prophets if we have the completed revelation from God in the Bible? If prophets were the “foundation” of the early church, are we still building the “foundation” today? Can God give someone a message to deliver to someone else? Absolutely! Does God reveal truth to someone in a supernatural way and enable that person to deliver that message to others? Absolutely! But is this the biblical gift of prophecy? No.
Do not be fooled by anyone claiming to be an Apostle or Prophet sent by God. You know immediately they are false prophets and apostles. Paul, Peter, Jude and John warn us about all of the false apostles and prophets who would come after them to deceive many.
