What's really simple is really simple ...
God has given different giftings and offices to specific individuals in the church for the edifying, etc. of the church.
Something else that is simple is ... you are part of the church.
Now, how about getting rid of the idea that you know, etc. everything just because you can hear the Spirit's voice!
Hello!
You are totally, absolutely correct!!!
The gift of teaching is given to men and women in the Church, when it's
time for the gift to be used
by the Holy Spirit, when the church has assembled to study and hear the Word, the Holy Spirit is speaking
through the person He is empowering, simultaneously the Holy Spirit is
testifying within each of His children that what they are
hearing is from Him Rev 2:7, hence the meaning and sense of 1 Jn 2:27, we must take into account and
believe that 27 of the 28 books of the New Testament, the Holy Spirit inspired, warn about false teachers and as we near the end it will become worse and worse (
that's the subject of this thread), so for true, born again children of God, who have the Holy Spirit living inside of them, when someone says they are speaking with the
authority of the Holy Spirit, that they are utilizing the
gift of teaching to teach the Church, it's the Holy Spirit inside of me that either testifys that is from Him or not, ...with a
simple, yes, yes spoken to my spirit, or a no, no, warning me it is not from Him and is false teaching.
However, sad but true, Jesus warns us about tares in the church Mat 13:24-30 and Paul teaches us satan's ministers can be behind the pulpit 2 Cor 11:13-15, so it's the tares, that aren't indwelt by the Holy Spirit, those that haven't
received the love of the Truth 2 Thes 2:10-12 that fall for, believe this false teaching, ...also Paul tells us there are born again children of God that have
resisted the Holy Spirit and sound doctrine Acts 7:51, and so doing they
grieve the Holy Spirit Eph 4:30 until finally they
quench His voice 1 Thes 5:19, they can no longer hear the promptings of the Holy Spirit in their spirit and they fall into the snare, trap of the devil and are actually
working for him. 2 Tim 2:24-26
So you see,
I don't know anything that hasn't been revealed to me through the gift of teaching by/from the Holy Spirit, ...actually
I'm quite stupid.
It's that
simple, ...but I'm sure you already know all of this.
