Christians believe in the prophets of the Hebrew Bible insofar as their prophecies could be understood as referring to the coming of Christ. Otherwise, they are useless to them. And anyone coming after Christ would not be a prophet because Christ was the whole point of history. The only exception would be John's Revelation, because that concerns the SECOND coming of Christ. They have this understandable tendency to focus exclusively on Jesus.

Any of the other what? Are you talking of the Old Testament prophets (ie. Moses, Abraham, Elijah, Elisha, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, ect.)? Or are you talking of the "prophets" that supposedly came after Christ (ie. Muhammed, Joseph Smith, Ellen G. White, ect.)? If that is the Case the answer must be yes and no. Main stream Christianity believes in the Old Testament prophets; but they do not believe in the "prophets" that rose up after the death and ressurection of Christ

All of the Old Testament Prophets are legitimate. Muhammad is not. After the Revelation of the Apostle John on Patmos, it is clear that the age of Biblical prophecy and revelation is complete. Thus anyone claiming to be a prophet of new revelations from God (Muhammad, Joe Smith, etc) is actually a false prophet.

I didn't think Moses was a prophet (as in describing future events), but I researched and now I do.

Also, Abraham prophesied. http://www.dccsa.com/greatjoy/pass02.htm
Mohammed was an awful man. He raped captive women and told his men they could too.How sad! :<

No. They had other purposes than just parroting what Mohammed said. You would have to read the Bible to see what thier role was.
