THE ERROR OF EXTRABIBLICAL REVELATION
1. IT IS DANGEROUS. The groups which have allowed for extra-biblical revelation have always gone into error and confusion. For this reason alone it should be rejected.

2. IT IS UNSTABLE. If some charismatic preacher or ccm musician was to have prophetic dreams and visions from God, by what rule should it be interpreted? When we are loosed from the absolute anchor of the Bible, we are launched upon the seas of confusion and instability.
3. IT IS UNNECESSARY. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 plainly states that the Scriptures are sufficient to make the man of God "perfect, throughly furnished to all good works." Extra-biblical revelation is absolutely unnecessary.
4. IT IS UNSCRIPTURAL. Passages such as Ephesians 2:20; 2 Peter 1:19-21; and Revelation 22:18-19 tell us that the completion of the Bible ended the revelation of God to man for this present time. The Book is complete and it is sealed.
We desperately need
a word from God, and we have it. We have the Bible. You can hear God speak to you every day, and know it for certain, and what it means.
"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas" (Matthew 12:39).

Hearing God Speak?
Member of one of the worship teams @ Passion 2013 has lengthy vision and conversation with "Jesus"? about how much he loves her.
So if I hear a TV preacher teach some strange, new doctrine, that they say they got from "god", and they cap it off with an irrefutable "haste la shundai", and if I think in my heart that it was not from the LORD, even after they "proved" their authenticity by the "haste la shundai", am I then guilty of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost?
