But I take nothing as Truth unless the Spirit personally authenticates it to me

Well, this is the ultimate in mysticism. Saying that what I do or think or conclude is the work of the Spirit is, in effect, a claim to divine revelation, and I don't buy it.

No, it’s merely New Testament life of believers as taught in the New Testament I Cor 12-14.

Not buying into Scriptural Christian life is missing out on what God has provided. I’m skeptical that He’s pleased with leaving HIS GIFTS by the road side or in the trash willfully.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
