I find it puzzling why people feel compelled to denounce and sound strident warnings against Ernie Knoll and his dreams, without any evidence that they are not of the Holy Spirit. It is ridiculously unfair for Prewitt to seize upon innocent statements by Knoll and place an unwarranted construction upon them. For example, Prewitt says: "This phrase, 'no error in anything we have done' seems contrary to the spirit and tone of all that is written in the writings of apostles and prophets." Knoll made the perfectly innocent statement that there is no error--no false doctrine--in what he has written. For Prewitt to wrest this into meaning Knoll was claiming "inerrancy" is unreasonable and shameful, a sin against the love we are to have for the brethren, and Prewitt needs to repent of the spirit that led him to engage in such obvious dishonesty. It is no light thing to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, and Prewitt needs to be aware of his danger, if he should be wrong about Knoll's dreams. And so far, Prewitt has provided no reasonable justification for the conclusions he has drawn.
 
God warned us in His Word not to be too quick to oppose prophesyings. He did this for a reason. It is because we are too prone to indulge in pre-judgments based not on evidence, but on personal feelings of what we think is to be expected. By such behavior, we tend to attempt to control the Holy Spirit Himself; as if we could deny His freedom of choice, and fail to respect His initiative in deciding how He wants to do things, and how He wants to relate to particular individuals with dreams and visions. 
 
I believe that the reason some SDAs are prone to be negative toward Ernie Knoll--who has NOT claimed to be a prophet--is that they fear that anyone who claims to receive visions or dreams is making a bid for the kind of authority that Ellen G. White had. Knoll clearly is NOT doing this. But God means for visions and dreams to be a continuing source of blessing for His people.
 
The Bible tells us that God communicates this way, at one time or another, with all human beings:
 
"In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,  That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride;  He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol." (Job 33:14-18; NASB)
 
Unless someone can clearly show where there is actually anything wrong with Ernie Knoll's dreams, they should keep their unwarranted negativity to themselves, lest their root of bitterness defile others.
 
Please consider anew these words of Scripture:
 
"Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances.  But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;" (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21; NASB)
 
Thus I believe that our faith and the religion of the Bible require that when we hear a brother state that God has given him dreams, our default position should be to accept what he says unless or until PROVEN otherwise.
