John 16:13 has primary application to the apostles; broadly applying it to all Christians sets the bar for Spirit-guidance too low

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 17) 00:54:36 – 00:57:08

Question from Rocketman Sean about the extent to which John 16:13 applies to Christians today

John 16:13 — "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth... he will declare to you the things that are to come." Jesus is speaking to His disciples about what will happen after His ascension. Mike argues the verse has special application to the apostles and the inspiration of the New Testament. The broader problem Mike identifies: charismatic Christians (including himself) have set the bar for confirming Spirit-guidance far too low, resulting in false positives — mistaking strong feelings or good ideas for the Holy Spirit's voice.
