An "inner vision"???? A more "deep understanding and soulful connection"??? I would caution that this is Gnosticism. Everything we need to understand and know about God is given to us through the scriptures and confirmed to us by the Holy Spirit. There is no need for "deep understanding" nor does someone have a special knowledge.
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue
I would caution that this is Gnosticism
A few thoughts.
1) If these “inner visions of deep understanding and soulful connections” are independent of Gods word RUN.
2) Many of these experiences are meant to be personal with God and when shared with others take on a life of it’s own and are perverted. “Mary pondered these things in her heart” is an example. Does not mean they should not be shared, but more often than not, the event is the focus, not the message.
Luk 2:19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.
Not Gnosticism.
We can’t know what God knows.
GNOSTICISM
Definition
The theory of salvation by knowledge. Already in the first century of the Christian era there were Gnostics who claimed to know the mysteries of the universe. They were disciples of the various pantheistic sects that existed before Christ. The Gnostics borrowed what suited their purpose from the Gospels, wrote new gospels of their own, and in general proposed a dualistic system of belief. Matter was said to be hostile to spirit, and the universe was held to be a depravation of the Deity. Although extinct as an organized religion, Gnosticism is the invariable element in every major Christian heresy, by its denial of an objective revelation that was completed in the apostolic age and its disclaimer that Christ established in the Church a teaching authority to interpret decisively the meaning of the revealed word of God.
