Anabaptists, Catholics and Continuing Extra-Biblical Revelation

Wiki:

Approximately 4 million Anabaptists live in the world today with adherents scattered across all inhabited continents. In addition to a number of minor Anabaptist groups, the most numerous include the Mennonites at 2.1 million, the German Baptists at 1.5 million, the Amish at 0.3 million and the Hutterites at 0.05 million.

Act 2:17 KJV - And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

 

Probably.

 

Someone having the spiritual gift of prophesy doesn't necessarily mean that whatever the person is professing should be canonized.

 

Agreed. Is it therefore considered extra-Biblical?

 

If a woman prophesied that a barren couple would have a baby girl within a year, the prophesy would be extra-Biblical (the word of God outside of the Bible) but not canonical scripture.

 

The 66 books of the Bible is the revealed inspired complete word of God. Sealed - meaning no additions.

 

How would you determine it was authentic? Handwriting analysis? DNA?

Why would it confirm that Paul and his successors are the "Vicar of Christ" if he didn't do so in any other of his letters? Why do you expect the "found letter" of Paul to contradict his other letters?

 

Which of course you would flatly deny ... in the case of actual Bible writers. IF we limited them to "reading from the texts already written before the NT" -- we would have "NO NT".

So you are arguing for a made-up rule that could not have been used by even one single NT saint.

As if that is "a good thing". Why do that?

Give me the Bible AND the words IN the Bible

 

Interesting - Are you relating about an "answer to prayer" e.g. a young couple I knew a while back were praying for God concerning His will for their life.
They ended up staying in the states and going into the ministry (him) because they received their answer.

They were staunch calvinist.

Oh, I forgot! they did quote a scripture which they felt was their answer. Don't remember what it was.
They were in the College Group years ago where I was the Assistant Pastor.

They felt it was a definite message from the word.

 

not "Every quote" of the Bible is specifically attributable to an SDA , but that one might have been

 

read my post again, I made an addendum.

 

It would be confirmed via the same process that the other 66 books were confirmed.

 

The wife was stronger than he. She would often question me (I was the College Group leader) concerning our local church doctrine (not Calvinistic - I was in those days).
She would not even accept the term "apparent free will".

 

I don't meddle in their lives. If they are convinced they are in the will of God who am I to interfere?

My oldest son is C. He goes out on the street handing out tracts, I've gone with him on occasion - not anymore he and family moved to Ohio.
I never bothered to ask him why as a C he handed out tracts. We had a good time talking later about the people we spoke with, the excuses they made, the few who made a profession, etc.
