Start with Job 15 and something familiar happens: Eliphaz anchors his counsel in what he has “seen,” then insists Job accept it as authority. That move—experience elevated over revelation—feels uncomfortably modern. We pressed into that tension and traced how the same pattern fuels claims of oneness, modalism, tongues as a test of salvation, and the endless refrain of “God told me to tell you.” The through line is simple and urgent: experience can confirm truth, but it must never define it.

We open the text in verses 17 to 19 and watch how Eliphaz frames credibility without exegesis. From there, we connect his approach to our moment, where recycled doctrines return under new names. History matters here, not as trivia, but as a map that shows where false turns lead. Along the way, we talk about the royal priesthood—every believer indwelled by the same Spirit, standing on equal ground. Teachers serve the church, but no one has a special hotline that outranks Scripture. If it cannot be shown in the text and in context, it cannot bind the conscience.

Listeners share vulnerable stories of confusion, pressure, and being told that without tongues they lack the Spirit. We walk through why that standard fails the biblical test, how emotion can masquerade as authority, and why Hebrews anchors God’s speech now in the Son and the inscripturated Word. Personal guidance is real, but it guides application, not revelation. We end with a call to courage and humility: become a student of the Word, test every claim, welcome correction, and speak with clarity and mercy.
