Bible Note: I will venture, leo, to say on pain that I may border on being too pedantic, that your spiritual growth will be fertilized more by regular and diligent study of God's word, by prayer, by corporate worship, and by fellowship with the saints than by anything else. Leo, the Bible doesn't support extra-biblical, individualized 'revelations' -- it alone is our standard of faith and practice. It is the complete revelation of God to man, once and for all delivered to the saints. There is a never-ending stream of false doctrine -- doctrine about special revelations, special powers of healing -- special this and special that. Be a Berean: search the Scriptures to see whether what you may hear is what Scripture teaches. If not, reject it like you would reject poison! And that you may grow in your walk with the Master is my prayer for you. --Hank |
