Hearing of the Holy Spirit

We have here a section of Scripture which very clearly shows us that believers, if they have truly believed in the Lord Jesus Christ with saving faith, they will sometimes be lacking in their understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. I believe that these two episodes are placed together, here in the book of Acts, to show us some things about how the Lord, the Holy Spirit worked in those days. They are here for us to read and to learn from today as well. Even though we don't live in the times where revelatory gifts are given to us, still the Spirit does illumine the understanding of believers to better and better perceive the truth of doctrine, if they are teachable.
