I Am Still Waiting....

I AM STILL WAITING.... The Gift of Apostle and Prophet is still relevant to the church today!! Last Spring, 2015, a question was asked in one of my classes, "Is the Apostle and Prophet relevant to the church today? Why or why not?" My professors' response to this question is that the Apostle and Prophet was no longer needed and that the only Apostles were those who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Upon reading his response, I asked the question, if the Apostle and Prophet are no longer relevant, can you explain Ephesians 4:11-12, which states, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:" Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV? Also, if the only Apostles were those who witnessed the resurrection, what about Apostle Paul, Andronicus and Junia in Romans 16:7, Apollos (1 Corinthians 4:6,9), Barnabas (Acts 14:4,14), Silvanus and Timothy (1 Thessalonians 1.1; 1 Thessalonians 2:6)? He submitted an apology before the class and stated that I was right to make the correction regarding other Apostles. He further stated that he would have an answer for the class regarding his response before the end of semester. That was last spring!! For his answer, I AM STILL WAITING!!! "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."(2 Timothy 2:15).
