Bible Note: Mommapbs: No, I have not experienced either. But I do not base doctrine on dreams and visions; I base it on the Word of God, the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. Col. 2:18 (TEV) Do not allow yourselves to be condemned by anyone who claims to be superior because of special visions... We must test EVERYTHING to see if it lines up with the Word of God. Take the content of any vision and compare it to the Bible. If the vision contradicts the Word of God, then the vision will have to go. There is no new revelation. I am not saying it is "wrong" to believe any and all visions. What I am saying is that one ought to be exceedingly careful when it comes to visions. In the last days many false prophets will appear and will deceive many. The same thing applies to dreams. While God may speak through a dream or a vision, that is not His normal way of communicating with us (see Hebrews 1:1). It has been said that most "dreams are not omens. Dreams are itinerant chemical reactions." Hebrews 1:1-2 (ESV) [1] Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, [2] but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Col. 2:18 (ESV) Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, Col. 2:18 (TEV) Do not allow yourselves to be condemned by anyone who claims to be superior because of special visions and who insists on false humility . . . For no reason at all, such people are all puffed up by their human way of thinking. --kalos |
