[.. I trust that only the Apostles (and we know their names) were inspired, and wrote or spoke God's truth. Everyone else since then had a religious opinion. ..]

So then.... I take it you personally have never had a "Vision"?..
-OR- been schooled privately in secret by the Holy Spirit?..

Do you believe its possible that others(now living) HAVE?..

There are none who are inspired. I believe God intercedes for us and we reach Him in our prayers if they are pure in intention and desire. God gently ande ver so lovingly puts us back on the right track if we drop our arroagnce and pride and ask for His help, but that's not the same as God speaking through your mouth or through your pen.

Of course Belivers since and currently HAVE.

But their received inputs from Holy Spirit have not been vetted by 300 years of church life, yet.

AND,

MOST IMPORTANTLY, GOD SEEMS TO HAVE FINISHED ENSCRIPTURATING.

So, in terms of SCRIPTURE, additional inputs by Holy Spirit are evidently not to be even considered as candidates for additions to Scripture. God seems to have closed the Canon.

Does NOT mean He has stopped talking to His kids—about their personal lives as well as what HE, GOD ALMIGHTY IS UP TO AND ABOUT TO BE UP TO.

I COR 14 presents how to vet such inputs. Of course, CESSATIONTARIANS are loathe to listen to God in THE PRESENT.
