I believe in the power of God, but the Holy Spirit will not lead you contrary to the word. And you mentioned those in Christ's time that were "word only",  you have miss applied the truth to fit your narrative. The truth is they weren't word only. If they had known the word they would have accepted Christ because the word prophesied the Christ. What is fascinating to me is that you can see an in context scripture like  1Cor.14:34-38 (the most authoritative scripture) that speak against it and you keep coming with your own personal view based on your experience. Its a scary place to be on the shifting sand of relativism where personal experience establishes the truth. It is liberalism. That is how and where heresies get started. It puts the idol of experience and notion above scripture. I don't want to put my experience above the Word of God….may it never be.

God bless
