There are many prophets who are counted in both Christianity and Judaism. These are the prophets represented in Old Testament Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Elisha and Elijah to mention few of the most famous. Most of them lived during the time when nation of Israel was divided into two kingdoms and their role was to call people to return back to the living God through repentance.
Apostle Paul mentions prophets as a part of New Testament church as well. he does not specify the role much, so we can possibly assume that their role is similar to the role in Old Testament - calling people of God to see the truth and return to God through repentance. These people are called to serve and equip the believers (Paul's letter to Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11-12 he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.

∙ 13y agoI think the prophets were all in the old testament , and not in the new one.
AnswerThere were a number of prophets in the New Testament, Agabus being one named in Acts.Since to be a prophet means to tell forth or proclaim God's message many preachers would fulfil that role in Christianity today -as long as they are proclaiming truly what God says and not their own ideas.
Some branches of Chritianity recognise the place of prophecy more than others -but the test of a true prophet as outlined in scripture still applies. If the prophecy comes true then the propeht is a true prophet and if it doesn't then they are not sent by God.
