Do you think this is ok, is it Biblical/?
Is this a little bit arrogant, in a vain glory kinda way?
Is it truthful if they do indeed possess the gift of prophecy? This gift is listed as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in scripture.
Is God using these people to bless, help or inform the masses? Do you know anyone personally that has one or more of these gifts? Perhaps we should seek out these people for help/prayer answers.

A Biblical requirement for an apostle was one who had seen the risen Christ. Since no man past the 1st century can make that claim, the idea of an apostle today is simply not consistent with Scripture.
As for the gifts of prophecy, healing, etc? I'm extremely skeptical. I've never seen one that actually documented and followed up to prove that the person was really healed.

There's the problem. You can't even agree on what an "Apostle" is.
