And no, neither are those derived from "knowledge" (gnostic) [sic] - they are both divine revelations in Scripture - Matt 13:13 and John 6:65 respectively.

The knowledge the Gnostics claim is also supposed to be "divine revelation." Of course the only thinkg lacking is the proof in both cases.

Gnostics are 1st and foremost fatalists.. Like God is playing a chess game here.. or even checkers.. Muslims are gnostics..

New wavers channeling demons(probably) claim quasi-divine revelation.. Spiritualists and probably orthodox clergy also.. do this..

Spiritual resonance is real in my experience..
If it resonates it COULD/might BE true.. "test the spirits" << like that..
Dogma accepted, is usually "what you want to hear"..
There those that will tell you want you want to hear..
And if you are not careful you will bite like a Mackerel..
Not all Gnostics are 100% gnostics..

If one has not received a divine revelation or vision - he has no basis for recognizing one or even for accepting that such things occur.

Truly, every Christian has received at least one divine revelation: that Jesus Christ is Lord. That is not something man can arrive at by mental reasoning or by closing his eyes, covering his eyes, gritting his teeth and repeating over and over to himself "I believe."

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. - Matt 16:16-17

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. - John 6:65

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: - 1 John 4:2

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:26-27
