“The negation of ‘The only thing we need is the Bible,’ is ‘We may need something other than or in addition to the Bible.’”

1. There’s no evidence that he had a significant indwelling presence of Holy Spirit or an ear trained to hear Holy Spirit.

2. God is sovereign. He chose to do it the way He did. No biggy. Just God being God.

3. Perhaps in order to give Scriptural evidence of folks traveling IN THE SPIRIT a la Philip.
