No, I don't personally. Luke 16:16 says that the last true prophet was John the Baptist. All the other "prophets" since then have been false.

These are the last days. In Acts 2:17 in the last days sons and daughters SHALL PROPHESY. The bible states clearly that there are New Testament prophets and prophetesses and some are mentioned in the books of Acts which described the events of the early church. In Luke 16:16 'the law and prophets' there refer to the Old Testament and John the Baptist heralded the coming of Jesus and the New Testament. The 'perfect' in 1 Cor 13:10 refers to Jesus Christ's second coming and this is borne out in 1 Cor 13:12 where we will see Him 'face to face'. So when Jesus comes prophecies will cease not now. We are commanded to judge prophets to see what they say align with God's word. We need spiritual discernment to know that the prophet is prophesying by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit can witness to our spirits that what is prophesied is from God. If you hear a prophecy and your heart is not at peace get a second opinion from a Christian who knows how to judge prophecies. God's prophets will use God's words to draw you to God whereas the devil and the false prophet will use God's word to draw you away from God. Just like the devil did to Eve in the garden of Eden..

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The Bible promises to send again the prophet Elijah during these last days and I believe that.
There are today many people with gifts of prophecy but you have to judge each one against the word of God.

There is a gift of prophecy bestowed upon the followers of Jesus on the Day of Pentecost AD 30. It is discussed most thoroughly in I Corinthians 12 through 14, but also other New Testament places. That gift has rules attached to it, and attached to the one "exercising " that gift. These rules are often broken, and breaking of them brings disgrace upon the gift in the eyes of those Christians or non-Christians who watch on. If only people would closely follow God's rules!
One of the most important rules regarding the use of this type of prophecy is that it never contradict the established 66 books of the Old and New Testament. Another rule is that the prophecy be "judged" whether it is from God or not by the leaders of the congregation in which it comes forth.
This is my analogy of how I have seen it work: The sun shines indiscriminately down on whoever goes outside. But if I take a magnifying glass outdoors to my sidewalk I can focus (really, bend) those parallel sun rays to focus on a particular spot and do a greater work (like start a fire) that the parallel rays cannot do. The Bible is like the sun's rays. They warm anybody who will make the effort to read or listen to them. The person gifted with prophecy is the magnifying glass. He or she is gifted by God to focus the words of the Bible on a person or congregation, accomplishing even more in their specific lives. Yes I trust this type of prophecy if the Bible rules are followed.

no. If you meant a prophet like elijah, elisha, jonah and all God's messenger....if you see one, he is false.
“Whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with.”—1Â Corinthians 13:8-10.
After all the apostles died, the Bible was completed so there's no need for prophets. Prophets who emerged after are false ones =)

The problem is, what is the definition of a 'prophet'. The word is tossed around a lot these days. I believe there are people who have wisdom that they have gotten from the Divine, is that a prophet? I don't know.

your question can be taken in two diff. ways?
prophets noewadays could be if we still trust in prophets (those who passed) or those who claim to be prophets!
I do trust in all of the prophets/messengers of Allah---from Adam to Muhammad peace be upon them all!
They were all righteious men who were chosen by Allah to spread His Oneness!

There are none today and anyone who claims to be is full of it. No prophet in scripture ever claimed to be a prophet.

No; modern-day so-called prophets are just out for Profits.

There are no Prophets anymore. Muhammad was the last one, and he was one of the around 170,000 prophets (including Jesus, Moses etc) send by God.
