¥We are not trying to
rule out real revelation today (God can do what
He wants!), but to test claimed revelation in
order not to be led astray.
¥We cannot afford to let
claimants bamboozle us:
–Warning against
blasphemy of Holy Spirit,
–Claiming it is
more spiritual to believe without tests.
¥God Himself commands us
to test.
–1Thessalonians
5:19 (NIV) Do not put out the Spirit's fire;
20 do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21 Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22 Avoid every kind of evil.
