Prophets

Actually, there are a tremendous number of Christians to whom God does continue to speak. The Bible was closed because people wanted to have a specific set of texts and rules to judge situations by, and these works were selected because of their authentic authorship by those who knew Jesus in the flesh, and their closest disciples. In fact, if you read the book of Acts, you'll notice that it lacks a formal conclusion, because it was assumed that the acts would continue. Additionally, there have been countless texts continuing to be produced by Christians either with a message from God or expounding on the Christian life or virtues, and these serve as valuable tools for the faith development of millions of believers. There are prophets in the world today, and though they may or may not hold the ear of government officials, they still proclaim truth to the people. A man in dirty clothes standing in the subway warning sinners to repent because the Kingdom of God is at hand - what a looney, right? Or could they be a prophet? The preacher who declares the words of God, the friend who confides a message of comfort to another, a little old lady who boldly speaks against some local injustice... A prophet is not one who predicts the future and acts crazy. A prophet is one who hears God's message and proclaims it in the way God commands. Prophecy is not foretelling, but "forth"telling - that is saying what you hear God say to you. And prophecy continues,and will continue, until the day we all see God face to face. God has given some guidelines on how we are to judge those who say they are prophets. Their message must be consistant with the messages theat have come before. God doesn't change, so any "new revelation" will unfold things that have been unclear before or will dig deeper into who God is. God's fullest expression of Himself was in Jesus Christ, God in the Flesh, so anything contradicting Jesus is automatically out. It should be accepted by other prophets, because God speaks the same to all of his messengers. And finally, if there is ANY prediction in the prophecy, it must come to pass exactly as it was told (allowing for figures of speech and literary form) - none of this "someone will die soon" wow, that predicts the Kennedy assassination! kind of crap. God's messages will be clear and truthful without errors or mistakes.
