Do we need miraculous revelations?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Jan. 28

Jesus told the apostles the Holy Spirit would guide them into "all truth" (Jn. 16:13). In Acts 2, those apostles were guided by the Spirit in their teaching and three thousand people heard the word, obeyed it and were saved (Acts 2:36-38). The hearers did not receive miraculous guidance, but accepted the word from the Spirit. Jesus prayed for those who would believe through the word of those guided by the Spirit (Jn. 17:20). Paul said "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Rom. 10:17), not through miraculous guidance. Men were saved in the first century by this message long before the Book of Mormon, Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures, the Koran or any other so-called revelation. If the Holy Spirit reveals new truth, since the apostles, Jesus did not tell the truth!
