Christ's pre-authentication of the New Testament:
(1) he expressly declared that He would leave "many things" unrevealed (Joh 16:12).
(2) He promised that this revelation should be completed ("all things") after the Spirit should come, and that such additional revelation should include new prophecies (Joh 16:12).
(3) He chose certain persons to receive such additional revelations, and to be His witnesses to them (Mat 28:19); (Joh 15:27); (Joh 16:13); (Act 1:8); (Act 9:15-17).
(4) he gave to their words when speaking for Him in the Spirit precisely the same authority as His own (Mat 10:14); (Mat 10:15); (Luk 10:16); (Joh 13:20); (Joh 17:20).
See, for example, (Co1 14:37) and
"Inspiration,"; (Exo 4:15); (Rev 22:19).
