there are people on earth that have the holy spirit and never have owned a bible. God saves in miraculous ways. After Pentecost, the bible was not needed to the Christians. Period. That is not a rejection of the bible, so please stop trying to spin me into what I am not. Thank you.

No doubt that in situations where there is no Scripture available, God does work differently.

But that is not our situation here. Here was have Scripture readily available.

After Pentecost, the bible was not needed to the Christians. Period.

Wrong.

Matthew 22:29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Acts 17:11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
