FEATURE

In the minds of many people most churches emphasise either Scripture or
the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There’s an assumption that if a church is strong
on biblical teaching it will be weak, or will doubt the existence of, spiritual
gifts such as prophecy, words of knowledge or healing. Conversely if a church
promotes such supernatural gifts they may be viewed as having a low view of
Scripture and therefore being weak on biblical preaching.

I DON’T BELIEVE SCRIPTURE
CAN BE ADDED TO, BUT
WHETHER THE HOLY SPIRIT
CAN DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE
WITH SOMEONE SO THAT THEY
HAVE WORDS OF INSIGHT AND
THINGS LIKE THAT, WELL IN
THEORY YES; IN PRACTICE I’VE
SEEN VERY LITTLE OF IT.
