I know this sounds weird, but I have a friend that goes to church and she claims its a baptist church. But she says she ministers to this prophet who suppose to know her past. What do you think?

Not knowing the person or the so called "prophet" I would be suspicious of a wolf in sheep's clothing or someone who is described in this passage.
2 Timothy 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
As to there being Prophets in the Baptist church, there are certainly people who have the gifts of a prophet as outlined in this passage.
1 Corinthians 14:3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.
Someone who claims to know the past of another person is highly suspect. While God may give someone a word of knowledge about another person in order to help them to become more like Jesus, it is the Devil and his evil minions who have been around as long as humans have who try to deceive people by giving them revelations about things that have happened in the past.
If I were you I would tell your friend to talk with the Pastor of the Baptist church and ask him about her situation with her "ministering to a prophet".

There are Prophets today, But a True prophet will take you away from the baptist teachings, & God does not need a woman to minister to a prophet, A Prophet is very capable to let God lead him.

Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) believe in continuing revelation through living prophets today.
Other churches believe that modern-day revelation is either of Satan or psychological issues.
Put this guy to the test yourself. When dealing with prophets, remember Matthew 7:15-16:
"15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits..."

sounds fishy to me...there are spirit filled full gospel baptist churches but Prophets do not deal in the past and if they are shown the past they usually do not comment on it..as it is shown so they may pray not tell

I don't know, but there are plenty of Baptist and otherwise conservative preachers who profit from the suckers who support them. Your friend is being conned.

I think your friend isn't telling the truth. There are no Christian prophets anymore. What's the need?- Jesus already came.

they are the only authentic Biblical Christians available immediately. different Christians hate them using fact looking in the mirror is frightening (and since the WBC has come out against the militia commercial complicated which the Conservative Christian suitable has signed a blood allegiance to).
