Where we ask these types of questions really matters. Now for me yes there are prophets today for its written 1st Cor 12 28 " And God hath set some in the church: first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracle workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, and those with diversity of tongues." But they are not like they were in the OT where if a prophet spoke you best listen. As one said to another who said he was speaking for God "when did the spirit leave me to you". See today we all that believe in trust in Jesus Christ have that spirit so a prophet can not tell you what to do. They will do as they did with Paul " he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles." Acts is Christianity. Now according to what I read the gifts that go with a prophet will be there and they never have to keep telling everyone "I am a prophet" because you will know.   If you ask in a place where gifts have say ceased will get a different answer. Wise to ask but search pray ask Him.. just believe He has not changed. Yes there are real prophets today but let me add I have never in 55y in the lord seen so many prophets/apostles. Christ said in the last days many false prophets will come. Someone that says the lord said or some teaching that is off in error those are not false prophets . Well one they don't say they are a prophet. No we not stone prophets today when they are wrong. Sorry we all get it wrong we all miss it.. we repent we get up dust off keep going. We love them we speak words of life. We are not over them we are not their judge we do not condemn. We love..  They fall we pray we help because that's how Christ treats us every time we miss it get it wrong goof up be it sin or some silly wrong doctrine. Yeah you find the real believers are know by their love one for another. Sorry got lost there. You will know

Did you intevestigate him by talking with his neighbors?

You know, with the varied many different denominations or  should I say different groups of believers, there are those who are convinced that prophecy is  closed, in that the cannon is closed.   For instance the Baptist Church does not practice this in their chruch and they are whole lot of people. I mean they are belivers too and how come they are not given those gifts too.  Surely, if one receives those gifts, they cannot deny it and would speak out on it. This is such an important topic, as we know of many in the past who proclaim certain events ect and it did not come to past.  Now, I am not denying that the body are given gifts as scripture clearly outlines them.   How they are interpreted and practiced is another thing to comprehend.   For instance , tongues and prophecy, healing and others are practiced and performed in the pentecostal Church plainly.  Ever been to one of those, they are dynamic in worship and the way they do church service and outreach.   I personally today is saying as a witness that the spiritual world of supernatural entities exist and all kind of things goes on that I sometime think I am alone in those experiences.  I have been through so much, that I sometime wonder how I exist. Grace of God, has to be.
