My goodness gracious, Lurking. I appreciate your answer but I believe you misunderstood my request.
I guess what I was hoping you'd provide me is something from Scripture that says my belief is incorrect. My apologies for not making that plain.
Of course the Spirit moves everywhere, to believe otherwise is to deny God's ongoing power and divinity. However, I don't believe God will move in a way contrary to His word, otherwise it will return to Him void contrary to Isaiah 55:11.
Christ himself told us to pray to God for the forgiveness of our sins in the Lord's Prayer. If you continue to think that's extra-Scriptural, that's your business.
And, to nip your aggressive tone in the bud, I never made a statement to 'educate you'. I merely cited Scripture which denied the validity of your position.
I did, however, ask you to educate me, in the spirit of Christian kindness and fellowship. If you can do so using Scripture you'll find more fertile ground with me. If you can do it while treating me as a Christian adult instead of accusing me of ignorance when I've given you Scriptural reference to back my claim, you'll do better still.
Bless your day.

thanks for your reply.
I am sure I did not misunderstand your request; however, you since you do not accept my answer no further discussion is necessary.
My first sentence sums up my discussion with you nicely: The first problem ... is that the majority of protestants, do not believe that anything written after the death of the last apostle is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Since you will only accept an answer from Scripture you prove my point that you are one of those protestants who do not accept that anything beyond the Bible is divinely inspired.
Therefore there is no need for further discussion.
