1CO 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

The spiritual gifts can manifest through anyone our Lord decides to work through at any given moment. It is true that one may operate in a specific gift more dominantly than another. Our Lord can manifest all gifts through whoever He decides and at any time. The spirit filled Christian knows our Lord seeks a willing heart. We should not limit His abilities with our limited thinking.

Apostles were the 12 that Jesus himself discipled. Prophets are the ones that prophecise to other and whose God reveal his plans to to speak to believers. Teachers are the ones that teach the things in the Bible. Anyone can perform miracles and heal others. In the Bible Jesus said that we could all do the same as he did. We can even move mountains if we have faith as small as a mustard seed.
Matthew 17:20 (New International Version)
20He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
God gives us the characteristics to be prophets or teachers, etc. You can excel in one of those areas but God can use you in either one of those...

The answer is NO. All Christains are assigned gifts but they are not all assigned the same gift Read 1 Cor 12. It tells us that we are all one body and we need each other's to create the church.

Many have gifts of healing, prophesy, teaching, miracles etc.
but not all are ordained and called of God to be Apostles or Prophets.

The clearly implied answer to all the above questions is "NO"! and likewise, the same answer is to be inferred regarding speaking in tongues!

You could use a teacher to heal some of the remaining brain cells.

What is the question here? All you have done is quote scripture. Do you have a question about these scriptures? If not, you are not following the guidelines and thus you should be reported for abuse because this is not a question.
