Please tell me your religion. If you are a Christian tell me your denomination please.
Do you think there is a need for modern day Apostles and Prophets? If you do, why?

Nope.
No need for priests either while our at it.
People are much more informed and have access to information now that before, say, in the times of Moses when very few knew how to read and they need an elite few to read/translate explain the scripture to them.
We shouldn't need prophets or miracles to show us the Splendour of the Almighty God.

The Last and The Final revelation of God is
The Holy Quran.... It is for whole of Humanity...
And Mohammed(peace be upon him) is the Last and Final messenger and Prophet of God for Whole of Humanity.
Before The Holy Quran the Messenger and Revelation was sent for particular Nation or tribes of that Time and it was for a limited period. But Holy Quran is sent for whole of Humanity and it will valid till the last day of earth.
No messenger will come In the earth with New Revelation.
Jesus(peace be upon him) will come to earth as a Ummath of Mohammed(pbuh) and testify that He never said to Worship him but to Worship the only true one and only God and He was sent as a messenger of God to the children of Israel of that time.
So All of the People should read the Last and Final Message of God the Glorious Quran.
(There is only one Version of Holy Quran and it is in Arabic. It is Unchange and will unchange till the last day. The Translation can be find in different language).

I think the need is greater than ever as the five fold ministry is what perfects the saints
evangelists, pastors, teachers, prophets, apostles
I am a born again, Bible believing, child of God

No, Jesus foretold us all things, and it was published. I understand the entire bible, because of the Words Jesus and His witness John spoke. Because I believe in His Words and I do them, he has given me understanding.
John the Baptist was the last prophet, we do not need prophets all we need to do is read the Word of God, which only the testimonies (4 Gospel) of Jesus and John.
Anything in the OT worth knowing Jesus told us about, when Jesus tell me something I listen, read it, and by the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth, I understand the Words and I understand that they are not mine, all glory goes to God the Father for sending His Son to bring us the TRUTH.

I am Apostolic. I believe there is a need for them today simply because the Bible mentions them for our time. Right along w/ pastors, teachers, etc. I don't know why they are rejected.
