Prophet itself is a one word, it doesn't have two meanings
It does in the English language because it can mean someone who makes prophecies of the future like Nostradamus. (Not that any of his prophecies have come true.) This was why I found the opening post a bit confusing.

Messenger = new stuff (like mohammad & jesus).
prophet only = renewal of old stuff.
Thanks for the help because I needed to know what the word means in Islam before reading replies from Muslims.
