This is incorrect thinking as the Spirit was poured out long before the bible was completed. And yes He does give new revelation to those whom He wills to. Until you can show in scripture where it says He don't. Good luck searching to no avail.
So on the day of pentecost they were all reading scripture to the hearers? Don't think so.
There are over 50 + Commands given by Jesus and or 1050 + New Testament Commands.

How would you know about all of them if it wasn't for the Bible?
For even Paul essentially said that what he had written was the Lord's Commandments (1 Corinthians 14:37).
Pardon my butting in but where do you think Paul acquired all those Commandments? Do you think Paul got them all in one day or three? How about the Holy Spirit guided him day in and day out throughout his work along with others who were given the Spiritual gifts.
I just look at what you say and it surely appears you are putting the written word which is only in part as scripture says, above the work of the Holy Spirit as if only the written grants you salvation instead of the Spirit working faith in us. You don't have to be able to read to be saved. Just ask Helen Keller.
What leads you to suppose that Helen Keller was saved?
Pitting the Bible vs the Holy Spirit is a false antagonism, just as it is a false antagonism vs the Lord Jesus or God in any sense.
It is self-evident that the Bible is the Word of God.
The sample of your words above, indicates to me that you are not speaking the Word of God.
Do it is not self-evident that your words (even if you allege that they are the Spirit's words) are God's words.
I see know evidence that you have a private pipe-line to God either.
So I shall treasure God's Word in the Bible highly; but remain skeptical as to the worth of what you have to say, as I suppose you will be skeptical about the worth of what I have to say.
You claim to be a Christian, yet do not capitalize Bible or Jesus. Do you confess that Jesus is YHWH who became a man in the flesh?
You claim to be an Ivy League grad, yet you write "no were" for nowhere???
It is self-evident that the Bible is the word of God. But the homework of affirming or denying it is mostly yours, as it is for me mine.
so what? How does that prove that the Bible is not the only rule?
What does it prove if the various books of the Bible were not bound in one codex until the 300's?
Do you have some proof that Christians have not been proving their doctrine from the Bible throughout history?
What is your proof of all that? Give us two reliable witnesses for every century. Prove there were real Christians there all that time.
"My sheep hear my voice." It is self-evident that the Bible is the Word of God.
Straw man.

Your verses say nothing about the Bible being or not being the only rule of faith after prophecy ceased.

The Spirit abides with the written word of God because it is divinely inspired or God breathed. God is not in conflict with His own Word.
The Holy Spirit and The Word, go hand and hand, you can't have one without the other. The gift was The Holy Ghost. The New Testament along with Old Testament is The Word Of God.
If you will take note of my original post in the Sola Scriptura thread, I made reference (with a link) to other written works of God that the Lord chose to not be a part of the cannon of Scripture we have today.
