Can someone claim to be a prophet and...

[strefanash]

the answer is NO. Thank God we are not under the LAW wherebyt we must stone them, but the answer stil stands as NO.

AS for prophets in training (ie getting something wrong) i might admit the possibility, but if so NOONE in that position is able or entitled to go public. THEY ARE NOT READY

NOT untill he is sufficiently at rest in the Lord dare he speak THUS SAITH THEW LORD as a matter of ministry

I knw the verse in Hebrews you refer to, but I think the implication you draw is incorrect. St Paul listed the offices in the church in I Cor 12:28.

God gave to the church Apostles prophets pastors evangelist teachers etc.

Some quote Paul as saying the prophecy would cease (I Cor 13:10) when the perfect came (true) but that this happened when the Scriptures were completely assembled. This last is false, for if we think that the verse in question is fulfilled why do we still have evangelists and teachers, and how can we claim to be in the time when the perfect has come when our fruit indicate something the contrary.

No. prophecy will cease after the Second Coming, if it has ceased before then it is because we have despised prophesying (in defiance of
St Paul on this one) and likely quenched the Spirit.

Thus you can see I am no cessationist, and hold that doctrine to be grievous heresy
