Divine Guidance

1. In moral conduct, God directly guides believers by revealed commands and principles according to His moral will (the Bible.)

2. In nonmoral decisions, God mediately guides believers by acquired wisdom according to spiritual expediency.

3. In all things God secretly guides believers by sovereign control over all events according to His sovereign will.

4. In unique cases God has supernaturally guided believers by divine voice, angel, dream, or miracle according to special revelation.
