How do I know that the Spirit is the originator of the Gifts of the Spirit in my life? For example, if I have a word of knowledge for someone how do I know it is from God? | ||||||

The Word of Knowledge given by the Holy Spirit to an individual will never contradict the written Word of God. If the Word of Knowledge you have is contrary to the Written Word, then it is not from God. Brad |

"Once the Scriptures were written, and the prophetic and apostolic witness to Christ was complete, no need remained for private revelation of new truths, and [John] Owen did not believe that any were given. He opposed the 'enthusiasm' of those who, like the Quakers, put their trust in supposed revelations taken apart from, and going beyond, the Word. ...Owen calls the Quakers... 'fanatics', for their attitude. He is quick to deploy against them the old dilemma that if their 'private revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false." --J. I. Packer | ||||||

Doc quoted- "He is quick to deploy against them the old dilemma that if their 'private revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false." --J. I. Packer" Now that is how I have always felt about it but had never heard (or read) anyone state it so clearly. Seems to sum it up, but then leaves me with a question regarding the passage beginning at Acts 17:10. When Paul "proclaimed" the word of God in Berea it certainly wasn't "needless" though the passage does suggest that the proclamation wasn't worth much to the Bereans until they validated with Scripture. I believe that when we start to include terms like "private revelation of new truths" in the argument we might get off track since at this point in the thread I don’t see mention of “new truths”.

Dear Jeff, At the time of Paul's proclamation, the Apostolic Age was still in progress. It did not come to a close until the death of John. In Him, Doc |

sorry for the late response- very busy weekend. Yes brother... I understand that and agree. I believe the problem with some Christians understanding this is that the statement (and others that involve the dispensations) is very rarely supported by Scripture. Jeff |

aplogies for and clarification of my previous post. After rereading my post I wanted to clarify my point. I was not suggesting that the views of dispensationalist are "very rarely supported by Scripture". My point was that a lot of the time (most of the time in my personal experience) folks who speak of the dispensations are either unable to provide biblical support or fail to do so. Will not be more specific than that in order to avoid a useless debate on debatable stuff that has been debated here plenty :-) |
