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.
You are welcome. Just for the record, I wanted to add that any muslims who believes in the hadith totally, also believes that mohammad had his share of prophecies, despite the fact that god says in the quran that mohammad doesn't know anything but what god told him (and god promised that nobody would never know the future or predict future events).
There are arabic forums (you'll find the regular stereotypical arab sunni muslims in them), they believe that the prophet left prophecies about the end of times, they're studying it.

http://www.najahmenalfetan.com/vb/
those are the most famous two. I had to register there to know if it's right or not(got kicked out and banned).
Of course, you see a great contradiction in here, between what quran says, and what the muslim scholars said.
