My position is found in 1st Corinthians 13:8 "Love never fails, but whether there are prophecies they will fail; whether there are tongues they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away."
In the days of the Apostles new knowledge from God was still being given. The Apostles were receiving knowledge and writing it down as scripture. But finally the Old covenant age completely ended in 70 a.d. when Titus and the roman army came and destroyed Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple and destroyed the Priesthood. When the Old system was done away with it was replaced with the New Covenant and the Church. The Old system had been passing away for a few years and the New Covenant had been replacing it for a while but there was some overlap until the Temple and the Priesthood and the nation of Israel was destroyed. Once all that was completed that which was perfect (The church and the New Covenant) had completely arrived in all it's fullness. And by that point all of the New Testament had been written. So by 70 a.d. there was no more new knowledge given to the Apostles to write down in scripture. Knowledge from God ceased. We have everything we need to know in the Bible. Also there are no new prophecies. The bible gives us all of the principles to live the Christian life. Also, as Paul says when the incomplete Old Covenant system of Temple and Priesthood was done away with and that which is perfect has fully come and been implemented then "tongues shall cease".
New knowledge from God was needed in the transition from the Old Covenant to the new Covenant but when that which was perfect had fully come and that which was imperfect had fully disappeared then there was no more need for any more knowledge. In the same way, when men from every nation were there on the Day of Pentecost there was a need for people to speak different languages which were known to others but which were not known to the people speaking them. That spread the Gospel and gave it a great start. However, that ability passed away and is not how God works now. Now if you want to be a missionary to spain you just need to learn spanish. And now if you claim you are getting knowledge from God and so you can write new scripture you are very mistaken . No knowledge is coming from God except through that which has already been written.
i know I won't change anyone's minds about this especially since relatives you love spoke words that they thought were coming from God in full sincerity. I had relatives I love who did the same thing. But that time has passed. In the Apostolic age there were many miracles. The Apostles could raise the dead. The reason people like the gift of speaking in tongues is because it is easy to fake. Anybody can speak gibberish. But let's see people raise the dead! Or lets see them speak in a language they haven't learned but that is known here on earth so it can be verified that a miralce is occuring. It won't happen because they can't do it. The only thing they can do is the one that can't be proven or disproven.
