I am a prophet

[allquieton]

Ray, I agree, of course anyone could be called as a prophet. What I meant was it’s confusing to label anyone receiving any kind of revelation from God, a prophet. Because that’s not how the scriptures (nor the world) uses the term.

On a side note–I don’t think “prophet” is a position or office in the church.

I think one has to use the term with caution, but Bruce R. McConkie did give an opinion in Mormon Doctrine that all people are prophets to their personal affairs. The concept makes sense to me.

allquieton, I agree that prophet isn’t an official position or office in the Church (like apostle is) – but I think that strengthens my point that we really do believe that all of us can be prophets, at least in some way and to some degree.
