Note: I truly do not mean to reopen debate about cessationism or ask about the basis of it or contrary views. I'm just asking about terms and how this one would be classified. _______ ## The Question Is hearing directly from God (or Christ or the Holy Spirit) *in either words to the ear, or clear words in the mind as “Other”* one of the Supernatural Fruits of the Spirit, and hence directly subject to the cessationism debate, and hence also something the Church Fathers experienced? Is this generally referred to as revelation, as opposed to prophesy? Do Christians believe (or, which Christians believe, including **you** if Christian) that this happens in modern times to some Christians? _______ ## Notes and links: Related: Depending upon the delineation made in the above by any answers, then my last question has already been asked and answered somewhat: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/10041/54533 Related: This question has examples from the Bible of God talking to people, and an answer says that Reformed Theology includes it as one of the things that they claim has ceased: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/80658/50422 I believe there are examples of church fathers hearing from God, and am even more certain they acquainted with and believed those who did, don’t recall which question that was. Finally, [Al Brown’s thoughts on cessationism generally](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/a/84727/54533) (which is not this question).
