R. Fowler Wright more than sufficiently refutes any such idea which thinks that God continues to speak directly to Christians today here: Does God Speak Today Apart From the Bible?. And, my response stated above is enough in itself to refute that view. IF someone claims, "God told me..._________ (enter whatever)" then it MUST be 1) true and 2) authoritative. No one would be warranted in rejecting what that person said. Dr. R.C. Sproul had the classic answer to any such claim; I paraphrase his response, "Well, the Holy Spirit spoke to me last night and said everything you claim and said is nothing more than horse pucky!!" rofl So, who could dare criticize the verity of what Sproul (the Holy Spirit) said?
