Link takes the bait:

If a word is from God, yes the listener should be obligated to obey it. But if the word is not from God, He is not.

Then every prophetic utterance in every charismatic church should have been recorded and all Bibles updated to include the latest word from God.

But the question is, how are we to know if it was from God or not? How do we know if we are obligated to obey it or not? What should be our measuring stick?

If you tell me, "the Bible," then you have destroyed your own argument because this latest "revelation" should be part of the Bible if you're right.

If you say, "because it feels right or wrong in your spirit," then you haven't answered the question at all and you've left us to do whatever seems right in our own eyes.

If you say, "the pastor should tell us," or "someone with the gift of discernment should determine whether or not that particular 'revelation' is from God or not," then you leave us to guess whether or not someone who claims to have the "gift of discernment" really has it.

Charismaticism has no foundation; no certainty, no Biblical basis. But I do understand how seductive the teachings can be. Nevertheless the teachings of modern-day "new revelation" is demonic. Modern "signs and wonders" are used to "validate" damnable heresies. And considering how many of these "prophecies" have totally failed to come true in any sense, it's a wonder that no one in the theonomist camp has yet spearheaded an effort to stone these false prophets to death!
