REVELATIONS

All the principles of godliness are undermined by fanatics who substitute revelations for Scripture.

John Calvin

The work of the Spirit promised to us is not to create new and unfamiliar revelations, or to coin some novel type of teaching by which we may be led away from the received doctrine of the gospel, but to seal on our minds the very doctrine which the gospel recommends.

John Calvin

All visions, revelations, heavenly feelings and whatever is greater than these, are not worth the least act of humility, being the fruits of that charity which neither values nor seeks itself, which thinketh well, not of itself, but of others. Many souls, to whom visions have never come, are incomparably more advanced in the way of perfection than others to whom many have been given.

John of the Cross

And sometimes those that men think were revelations, are deceits and illusions, and therefore it is not expedient to give readily credence to every stirring, but soberly abide.
