Latter-day Saints have [Joseph Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith) . Seventh-day Adventists have [Ellen G. White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_G._White) . And surely other denominations recognize other individuals as authentic modern prophets. But none of them would regard Muhammad as an authentic prophet of God, for example. And other denominations would say there are no prophets anymore (e.g. see [cessationism vs continuationism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessationism_versus_continuationism)) .
**What is an overview of criteria used by different denominations to identify authentic prophets?** How come they do not always agree on who is an authentic prophet and who isn't?
