At one time or another, many of us have been exposed to self-promoting preachers and teachers who claim to have had a special “revelation” or “word” from God. If so, we need to be careful. Unless what a person proclaims as truth can be verified by the clear teaching of the Bible, it is personal opinion at best and heresy at worst not divine revelation.<\/p>\n

Similar warnings are found in Deuteronomy 12:32, Proverbs 30:5-6, and Revelation 22:18.<\/p>\n
