Who’s a real prophet, and who’s not?

In the last couple of years, many different types of “prophets” have been announced in different religions; all of them claim to be “the chosen one”, but in the majority of the cases, it is just an invention; how can we differentiate from a real prophet and a fake prophet?

I believe a real prophet is the one that is loyal and true to what he o she believes. No one knows if what each of us believe is the complete truth but i think that being true to yourself and preaching that to people , always giving the glory to what he or she believes and not to himself is to be a real prophet. Someone who talks and does it to receive any kind of eulogy for himself is not a real prophet.

i believe there is not a real prophet, there is just a believe that there might be one, Myself, a catolic girl, has reched to the point of finding herself in belief of a god or powerful force that hasn´t lead society into total caos, but still, taking into account other religions, I personally think a human, a living one ( bone and flesh) couldn´t possibly be the solution to world range problems, the prophet should live at absolute peace. But everyday it is proven that humans are just getting rotten.
