Amos Zechariah —6 Acts —26 Revelation Preaching Christ and His Commandments Matthew — For we see these functions clearly laid out in 1 Corinthians and Ephesians We see in Acts how the first-century church in Antioch was led by prophets.
During this time there is no mention of apostles in the Church, and this seems to shatter the notion that prophetic leaders cannot lead larger Church networks or organizations. During this time in history we see a wide variety of various types of leaders who go into uncharted areas where Christ has not been named or proposed. These are going outside from the local Churches and organizations with powerful anointings. Prophets were sent as seen in Isaiah , but were mainly in one place in regard to their focus.
So then it can be said that many that we call apostolic are actually New Testament prophets and leaders, and those who may be called prophets would actually be more of an exhorter who have developed a mature gift of prophecy, rather than functioning in the office thereof.
Apostolic leaders engage in problem solving more out of strategizing and teaching out of principle through their vast experiences. On the other hand, prophetic types engage in the same type of problem-solving but do so in a different type of delivery which can and sometimes comes out of a more spontaneous prophetic utterance, and yet the differences may well be quite minute.
However, prophets also teach and can lay down principles upon which a foundational concept can be built. So actually both can be involved in laying the foundation and the building of a local church or a network of churches.
This then is why there should be a working together of them in doing what they have been called to do. Dinis Ulns Professional. Who wrote the Apostles Creed?

The Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholic, Swedish Lutheran, and Anglican churches accept the doctrine of apostolic succession and believe that the only valid ministry is based on bishops whose office has descended from the Apostles.
Yria Kunast Pundit. Who are the successors of the Apostles? The bishops were also successors of the apostles in that "the functions they performed of preaching, governing and ordaining were the same as the Apostles had performed".
It is also used to signify that "grace is transmitted from the Apostles by each generation of bishops through the imposition of hands". Dirk Astor Pundit.
