Should a Christian listen to someone who says they've had a vision?


I believe that some Christians will have visions today (Acts 2:17). However, we must put boundaries to the dreams and visions that people have, for not all dreams and visions are of God.

I have three sections of Scripture to help answer your question.
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
(Gal. 1:8)

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
(Rev. 22:18-19)

You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
(Deut. 4:2)
The Gospel deals with the preaching of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It's preached by revealing that Jesus is the way, truth, and life, and no man or woman gets to heaven unless he or she comes through Jesus.

Any time someone has a vision that doesn't lift up Jesus as Lord and the way of salvation, then he or she is not correct. We can also conclude that anytime a person's vision goes against the known Scripture, it's not of God and we shouldn't listen to it.

Don't allow a person's vision to confuse you. Judge it by the Word of God and determine if the vision is right or wrong.
