Belated Greetings, Paul! I call myself a continuationist now, but I spent the 90’s and half this decade as a charismatic, in Vineyard, AG, independent, and a long stint in an aberrant church that was heavy on 5-fold ministry.  I’m open to some sort of ministry of apostles today.  The word is applied in the NT to others besides the 12 and Paul.  It seems plausible that there is some kind of church planting/oversight that can be called apostolic.  Also, we see NT prophets such as Agabus, those in Antioch, and those mentioned in Corinth.  I don’t see why we should expect that the function of the NT prophet is the same as the OT prophet. 

Unfortunately, I share the experience of others here. My encounters with modern apostles and prophets has shown them to be misguided on these matters, as I see it.  This doesn’t mean that there aren’t others who aren’t.  The NT doesn’t give a whole lot of information on prophets, but if churches would at least insist on testing the prophecies, that itself would probably take care of most of the nonsense.  Greg Koukl made a good point, and my experience backs it up, that too many of the churches that practice prophecy don’t really take it seriously.  Someone will prophesy “Oh My people, etc. etc.” in a service, and people say “Thank you Jesus” and forget about it.  If we take prophecy seriously, we should keep a record so we can test it.

 On the other question, NBC wouldn’t let them take the name “World’s Most Dangerous Band” with them when they moved to CBS.
