>>‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’<< Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.

So, do you believe that the New Testament "Books" of the Bible were written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?

If all of those other believers back them who "received the Holy Spirit" received exactly the same things from the Holy Spirit, are all their writings also inspired just like the writings that were included in the Bible, and should we seek all those other writings from all those other believers out, and add them to the Bible now?

Or, do you think that only some who received the Holy Spirit back then were actually chosen by God to write Sacred Scripture, and others who received the Holy Spirit were selectively singled out by God for other specific functions, such as ministerial priestly duties, or healing, and so forth?

What silliness. You obviously forget that Christ also told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would bring to their remembrance all that He taught them.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So you see. The apostles were the ones who would write down what Christ taught them. Christ didn’t teach all those others personally did He.
