Thanks for making a case against yourself, for indeed, "I do not care that much about what "Link" says. I do not consider him to be an infallible source of truth. Indeed, the fact is that he is nothing more than the tradition of one man, himself, and not divine revelation. Thus why should anyone believe anything he has to say?

If there are new revelations from God apart from the Bible, then they of necessity have to be inerrant and infallible, for when God speaks, He speaks only truth. Secondly, if it were true that God has continued to reveal Himself beyond the Canon of His inspired written Word, then it of necessity, obligates all men to extol it, to hear it and render obedience to it. Thirdly, if one claims to be the mouthpiece of God and speaks a word which is later shown to be contrary to what God has already revealed, then this "prophet" as you would call him/her is a false prophet and should be cast out of the Church for he/she is worthy of death.

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Jeremiah 28:15-16 "Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD."

Timothy was ordained a preacher/teacher of the written Word of God, not the exclaimer of new revelations. It was by the Scriptures that Timothy was raised and from which he was to preach doctrine. (cf. 2Tim 3:14, 15; 4:2, 3) In fact all those who are ordained to the office of Elder are to teach sound doctrine derived from the Scriptures alone. (cf. Titus 1:9; 2:1) Those who pervert and/or add to or subtract from the divinely inspired inerrant and infallible written Word of God do so to their own destruction. (cf. 2Pet 3:16; 2Jh 1:9, 10; Rev 22:18, 19)

In His grace,
