Uhm, maybe it'd be a good time to define what 'prophet' and 'prophetic' mean. If people can't agree on the definition of "prophet" and "prophetic" then it's the same as trying to talk about quantum physics when you can't agree on 2+2=__.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary there are a couple definitions of a prophet. Now. The
biblical definition of a prophet is
one regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will.
The bible recognizes there were many kinds of people that could see the future. But
not all were prophets. This was reserved for the those that revealed the divine word of the God that created the heavens and the earth. Also it's important to make the distinction that "telling what the future is" and "revealing God's divine will" are, biblically, two very different things.
Biblically, all prophecy ended with the book of Revelation. IF... And I hope you all realize that I'm qualifying all my statements here... IF you're using the biblical context of a prophet, then there are no more prophets. No more prophecies. God's revealed will has been locked up until Christ second coming.
Now. 'Prophetic' is defined in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary as two things. The first one being:
of, or relating to prophets or prophecy.
(the definition of a religious term)
and:
(a definition in no way linked to religion or religious idea)
The first definition fine and everyone can agree on it, as long as you affirm that the prophets: 1) revealed the divine revelation of God, and 2) ended after the apostle John (author of Revelation). So biblically, any reference to prophecy in modern day terms must refer to mere future telling, and not a divine revealing of God's will.
If you don't believe in the 1st biblical definition of prophecy then you're limited to the secular definition - merely "foretelling events". Otherwise you start arguing over algebra with agreeing on simple math.
To examine this with secular glasses, rather than a biblical interpretation, yeah. It's going to look and sound really hokey. But then again, like I said: prophet and prophetic are two completely different terms, linguistically and biblically.
So try not to pigeon-hole the word 'prophetic' as a hokey, religious word. It is simply a word that means "foretelling events". Foretelling events does not necessarily mean that you KNOW the future. It
can mean, however that you have impressions, intuition that
turns out to be true (coincidentally). If one speaks prophetically they never know what they've dreamed/spoken is true until it happens - their knowledge of the future is never complete. If it were a complete knowledge of the future they'd be clairvoyant.
Ex.
The Prague Post uses the word prophetic in an article, yet in no way is it linked to a religious meaning and certainly not a divine revelation of God.
So, to sum up what I am trying to accomplish with this post: The title of this thread is "Profile of the Prophetic Person",
not "Profile of the INFJ Prophets". As the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it (as well as what is biblically correct), you could rephrase it as "Profile of the Person Who Has Inklings/Impressions about the Future that, for whatever reason, turn out to be true".
'Prophetic' isn't necessarily linked to a religious concept or religion. It merely describes something that someone says/feels/dreams that turns out to be true, whether they believed it would be true or not at that moment.
It's all about context. Take a word out of context and you can make it mean just about anything you want to. That goes for the definition of a word as well since many words have more than one definition, which is all based on its context.
