Been thinking quite a bit about the gifts of the spirit. Those include the gifts of revelation and prophesying.
The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. He is God. When He speaks, He speaks God's word, by definition, because He is God.
And yet we have too much of Christianity declaring that the Bible is all the word of God we can and ever will have. That we will receive no more of God's Word. If this is true, then the Holy Ghost does not speak. Nor does He work among the children of man.
And what does Christ teach us in the Bible? He teaches us that His disciples will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. In fact He calls and authorizes the apostles to do just that. And they teach faith in Christ, repentance and Baltimore the remission of sins. And as the early saints did that, they received the gift of The Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands of the apostles.
And by receiving the Holy Ghost we gain spiritual gifts and can do miracles through our faith in Christ.
So how can those who deny revelation beyond the Bible receive the Holy Ghost when He is a revelator? How they do mighty miracles through faith while denying the Holy Ghost acts.in the world? And if you say the Holy Ghost acts, how can you claim the Bible is all there is and all we need? Especially when the Bible shows us we need to live off every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. How can you live off every word when you tell God He must be silence and will not listen to what He says?
It's ironic, that by claiming to believe in the Bible alone, the actual teachings of the Bible end up being ignored. Because the Bible teaches us that if we lack wisdom we can ask of God and He will give it liberally. The Bible teaches us to ask and we shall receive. That if we seek we shall find.
If man denies the Holy Ghost speaks and reveals God's will, how can they perform any miracle? The very act of proclaiming an end to revelation cuts off a connection with God. They have a form of godliness but deny the power of such.
But the disciples of Jesus Christ will study the scriptures and receive revelation from the Holy Ghost. And when they preach signs will follow them. Else, there is no faith in Christ.
