keep in mind that they must have seen God and had dreams (Numbers 12:6).

Yes.
Acts 2:17-18'And in the last days.' God says, 'I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions,and your old men will dream dreams, and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.'
Revelation 11:10 And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and enjoy themselves, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those dwelling on the earth.

NO! There is NOTHING left to proficy. The foundation of the church (that we are to build for Jesus Christ) was built with prophets and the works and testimony of the apostles. the foundation of the church was built by what these prophets foretold actually coming to pass. The foundation was also built by the original apostles (as there is no more need for them) by their testimony and the miracles the Lord did through them. Once this foundation was laid down, there was no more need. All other prophets since have been false prophets. The Word of God is laid out for us and there are no more NEW things, latter rain, new revelations, or anything else to come to pass.

There are no prophets alive today, there will be none tomorrow, and there were none yesterday.
The "prophets" of the past were no more inspired by God than you or I. Some had good ideas; others were delusional schizophrenics. Some of their teachings are reasonable and would improve the world; others have been the cause of countless murders and destruction.
The teachings of "prophets" and religions in general should be intelligently considered by prospective followers. They should never simply be taken on "faith."

I know the LDS church (Mormons) believe their president is a living prophet but this is highly unlikely since when you look at the history of their revelations they contradict one another and God would not contradict Himself. But when you define the word Prophet it is one who foretells or forthtells the Word of God. Prophecy can be predictive (foretelling) as God reveals knowledge of the future to one of HIs servants. But a prophet does not have to foretell the future they can also be one who forthtells or speaks forth the Word of God to people to warn or encourage etc... So as far as the Mormon view of prophecy no I do not believe the Mormon seers are really prophets but I do believe there are people who have the Biblical Spiritual gift of prophecy to foretell or forthtell the Word of God.

No, what would they be for? John wrote revelation... that is prophecy...and Revelation says that you cannot ADD to that book...well that book is about FUTURE events, so anyone giving prophecy about future events is ADDING to the book of revelation. There will be 2 prophets that come as stated in the Bible in the book of Revelation...that is it.
And remember, any "prophet" you know HAS to be 100% correct otherwise God requires death because they are a FALSE prophet.

After Jesus came in person, there is NO need for prophets anymore, as HE explained pretty much everything. (This only accounts for a small population of the world - I know)
Non- believers of Jesus, I can't say - I have so much back studying to do, so there may be prophets I don't know of.
I answered to read the serious answer you'll get to learn something.
Oh, as your question is a yes/no. - I believe - NO.
Sorry to be so wordy.
