Whatever law the Holy Spirit has written on your mind you instinctively know in your mind.
Some of us get ‘suspicious and paranoid about everything’ when we know people whom the Holy Spirit has taken to realms far beyond Scripture.
I have a friend (he is my neighbour, and he much more Pentecostal than I am) who through the working of the Holy Spirit is now 2,000 years advanced on New Testament teaching. His ‘in the heart’ experience has taken him where neither Peter nor Paul would have dreamed to go.
There is much I could say, but I’ll quickly go back even further to the beginning of creation.
Going back to Genesis, he sees two creations of mankind. Mankind was first created (as recorded in Genesis Chapter One) and lived and died on the earth for tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years. ((Genesis 1:26 God said, “Let us make mankind in our image.”))
This, according to my neighbor, is the first creation of humankind.
The second is recorded in ((Genesis 2:7, Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground.)) This is the creation of Adam and Eve. This separate creation of humankind came much later than the first, and was much superior to the first.
To him, the first creation is affirmed by the general understanding of the fossil record whereby it is seen that animals and mankind have lived on earth for a huge length of time. (The Holy Spirit has confirmed this truth to him.)
In contrast, the creation of Adam and Eve occurred only about 6,000 years ago. (This is affirmed by the genealogies recorded in Scripture. And these family records cannot be stretched to make them go back hundreds of thousands of years.)
He is adamant that these truths were revealed to him solely by the Spirit of God, and cannot be acquired by anyone from the Word of God.
We get suspicious when such people -- he is a church leader -- no longer heed the words of Scripture.
This obviously makes it difficult for all those for whom ‘Scripture’ and the ‘Spirit’ go hand in hand.
2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, one who needn’t be ashamed, one who correctly handles the word of truth.
