What does the Bible say about prophets and teachers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes prophets and teachers as appointed by God to proclaim His Word, particularly in the early church.

In Acts 13, we see a clear distinction made regarding the roles of prophets and teachers in the early church. These positions were essential for the proclamation of God’s Word, as highlighted by the various men mentioned who served in the church at Antioch. The scripture indicates that these roles were held solely by men, which reflects the structured leadership established by God through His Word. Prophets were used to proclaim truth and foretell future events, serving before the completion of the biblical canon. However, now that Scripture is complete, we no longer require such roles. Instead, we have the written Word of God, which remains the authority for Christian teaching and doctrine.
