Unfortunately dear brother you are totally out in left field. There is no such thing in scripture to support this division of Prophet and Prophetess. This is total hogwash.
I have at least 50 books in my library on the subject of the Gifts of Rom., Eph., & 1 Cor. written by authors of greater renown and higher education that both me and you could ever achieve. Not one of these mention anything of Prophecy of the Prophetess or of the Body of Christ having the name of the Prophetess.
I have studied the Gifts for over 10 years and have never come across anything that lay hold to your twist of these scriptures in order to come up with the bonk you propose.
Mysteryman said:Throughout all of scripture, there is two types of prohesies. The prophecy of a Prophet, and the prophecy of a prophetess.
When the church comes together into one place, the manifestation of tongues with interpretation and prophecy. The prophecy is that of the prophetess. That is because the manifestation of prophecy comes from the body of Christ which is the prophetess . She brings forth only words of edification, comfort and exhortation - I Corinth. 14:3.
There most definitely is still Prophets !
There are five gift ministries give to the church, the body of Christ - 1. Apostles 2. Prophets 3. Teachers 4.Evangilists 5. Pastors
A Prophet is subject unto the Spirit of the Prophet - I Corinth. 14:32 . No Prophet is to speak, unless God gives him a message that God will cause to come to pass. And it is always future !
The only time a prophecy from a Prophet that contains prophecy of the past, is when that prophecy is combined along with the prophecy of the future. This can be seen by just reading the book of Revelation. The revelation given to John.
Any questions ?
ALSO the word Prophet means, spokeperson, speaker or foreteller. The prophets of the Lord are chosen to speak the messages of God which may not be at times futuristic. However when these prophecies were in the future and so far in the future that the hearers would not be around to see its fulfillment, the Prophet was required to prophecy an event in the near future. If the near future prophecy came true, the people could then believe and stand firm on the other prophecy of far. If it did not come the prophet was to be put to death by stoning as he was declared a false prophet. This was OT law.
Even Jesus was subject to this law when He prophesied His end time prophecy. He gave a prophecy for the near future which was Mat. (24:1-2).
What you are teaching is false which makes you no different than a false teacher or a false prophet. Luckily stoning is not in vogue today.
