Had an interesting conversation about private revelations with one of my Lutheran pastors once.
He said basically.
1. They can and do happen.
2. Always be very cautious and suspicious of any that you hear about (or see yourself).
3. They are not necessary for salvation.
Traditionally, Lutherans don't have much to do with private revelations beyond the pastoral level. I can't think of any "officially approved" ones, though I may be wrong.
