This is not EXTRA Biblical revelation. There was nothing new here ONLY the Holy Spirit Testifying that the jesus of the Bible is TRUE.
The Holy Spirit was at work on the inside of you.
The Holy Spirit did not Testify of Dean & Terry.
He testified to Jesus what NEW info was imparted?
It was only that your spirit was quickened, to hear & understyand the same old revelation of Jesus.
 
As preachers of the gospel we are only messenger boys.
God does the work.
"It is not our strength we want. It is not our work to make them believe. That is the work of the  Spirit. Our work is to give them the Word of God. I cannot convert men; I can only proclaim the Gospel" D. L. Moody

Hey Dean:
In my opinion, revelation from the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with adding to scripture.  If the Holy Spirit did not reveal to you that He wanted you to preach on the streets, then you are out there on your own authority.  If the Holy Spirit did not reveal to me that I was lost and desperately needed a Savior, I would still be headed straight for Hell.  We received extra biblical revelation.  Dean and Terry are not mentioned in the Bible.
    Preachers can preach 'til their face turns blue, and if the Holy Spirit is not at work, they are doing it for nothing.  He comes alongside and uses His power to make your message effective.
    There have been people like Herbert W. Armstrong that claimed that he had been given the date of the Lord's return, but after he missed it three times it was pretty obvious that he was not getting his information from the Holy Spirit, and it was not the Holy Spirit that inspired him to make those claims.  People who had never opened a Bible knew that Herb was a screwball. 
There are four hundred people in Los Angeles alone claiming to be Jesus Christ.  No one believes them.  It is not new revelation, and it is not the Holy Spirit leading in all truth.  It is just your average whacko doin' his thing. 
Nothing wrong with exposing people like those I mentioned, or those who are a little slicker, like ol' Joe Smith, but no reason to get excited about it either.  There will always be people like that 'til the Lord returns.  In the meantime, He is writing it all down.
