The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Does God speak to His people today?

I read that link, and quite frankly I see alot of restrictions put on God that are not supported by scripture at all. God called me to preach through utterance of the Spirit in my spirit after preaching the first time. It was actually the next day as I was praying and questioning if what I felt I was being called to was real that I heard Him say "You will be doing more of that." He didn't use any of the scriptures that that article says God "will" use. It seems the writer of that article is telling God what He can and can't do.

Do you have scripture to support this? Cause that's not what it says.


I wrote that off the top of my head, so I had the terminology wrong. However, the fact remains that sometimes God just gave directions to someone, other times He made promises that could be new revelation, and other times He sent His Word to be written in the first person from His perspective with new revelation. Each is a very different thing.

Your arguments are very logical and I might have believed them if not for my experiences. I know that God's word is our ultimate authority that we are to "test the spirits" by. Until someone shows me scripture to say otherwise, I'm going to go with what I believe in my heart because the Holy Spirit bears witness to my spirit. If it were not God or atleast one of His angels I heard, the Spirit would have told me by now.

I've also talked to my associate pastor about this, and raised the points you guys have raised. He is in agreement with me. He has heard God too and agrees that it is not new revelation because He's not telling us anything that hasn't been said before. I'm starting to think this is just another of the differences between Presbyterians and Baptists.
