10 Questions to the criticizers

Somebody sends letter to me criticising the article titled "Harun Yahya and the last messenger " in this blog, I like to ask them some questions and I will write more after getting their reply:
Questions:
1. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Mahdi would be a messenger after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
2. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that any type of messenger is predicted or possible to come after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
3. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that the messenger named Ahmad who predicted by Jesus to come after him (Quran 61/6) is a messenger who comes after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
4. The Quran 3/81 deals with a covenant of Allah which has been taken from prophets. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that this covenant has been taken from Muhammad too, and the messenger of covenant is a messenger who comes after Muhammad?
5. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Muhammad is not the last messenger?
6. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Mahdi will be a messenger who comes after Muhammad?
7. What is your opinion about the following hadeeth: (Prophet Muhammad said that) "The Messenger-ship and Prophet-hood has come to an end. There shall be neither Messenger nor Prophet after me." (Tirmidhi, Ahmad)?
8. Whence you have got the concept of 'every Muslim is a messenger'? Is it from the Quran and sunnah or from satan?
9. We enjoined to believe that لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله means there is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Is it enough to pronounce that كل مسلم رسول الله means 'every Muslim is a messenger' instead of the second part of our kalimah? Or can you say both are equal?
10. What are the meanings of 'Nabi and Rasul' (in English)? Is there any difference between these two terms? What are the difference, if any?
