The anointing teaches all things they have no need that any man should teach them.
If teachers are not necessary then why did God give humans the gift of teaching?
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,
Do you suppose that the teaching of the Spirit does not use words to their inner man and inner ear? Do you suppose that when the Holy Ghost teaches this is not somehow understandable as words?
"13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."( 1 Cor 2"13 KJV)
That verse says is talking about the Spirit teaching the apostles, not us.
We know that the Holy Ghost speaks in words that men understand. This is also How he speaks in our hearts, in our spirit as well as we can see from scripture
"As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."(Acts 13:2 KJV)
Here we don't know who said these words from the Holy Ghost. But He was speaking in some of them and they spoke forth that word.
There were people with the gift of prophecy in the early church. Notice the Holy Spirit said precise words to them which are quoted here. "the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas...." These were not feelings which they verbalized using their own words.
The speaking that men do is by God in them. We already saw this possibility in Matthew 10 where Jesus said it is not you who speak but the Spirit of your father which speaketh in you.
Jesus was speaking to the apostles.
This also is shown to the Corinthians in their spiritual utterances by the Spirit. These utterances can come forth as doctrine, prophecy, revelation, wisdom, knowledge tongues exhortation , teaching , preaching etc.
In the absence of scripture, the early church were given revelatory gifts which have since ceased.
