We KNOW because the Spirit has QUICKENED us so that we can LIVE out His will. We PROVE the truth of God's word in our lives because God's Spirit lives in us, enabling us to live lives pleasing to Him.
This NOT "special, personal, direct
revelation!" This knowledge is not cognitive grasp of doctrine, but a heart changed - conformed
by the renewing of the mind. The mind is renewed by the Spirit
applying the written word to the hearts of His people.
There is absolutely no other "revelation" going on among God's people on earth.
If anyone here is hoping to use this forum to promote charismaticism, you've definitely come to the wrong place. I have met some folks who claim to be "Reformed Charismatics," but the term is an oxymoron. One cannot embrace
sola Scriptura and still lay claim to any form of revelation
apart from the Scriptures.This thread has not been particularly helpful for the purpose of this forum anyway; but right from the start fostered a theological debate.
That's what the Theology forum is for (sorry, Pilgrim <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/evilgrin.gif" alt="" />). But it has been helpful in demonstrating how theologically and systemically stubborn the false teachings and superstitions of charismaticism can be.
The original post seemed to be about possible meanings of "the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus." I offer that it refers to a spiritual
principle rather than a duty required or offense forbidden with rewards and penalties prescribed for obedience or disobedience. Like physical laws of nature, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus
cannot be broken.
