nope. if you believed it, you would act on it.
it's obvious you don't believe Christ when He said to tell people what He reveals to you, or that you haven't actually had anything revealed.
something else is more important to you. that's what is known in "Christanese" as having an idol.
or being blind.

I believe 
the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man, do you ?

i just revealed to you Christ's own command, and you denied it several times and continue to deny it.
you say one thing with your mouth, but what you've actually done is quite different.
why are you being so evasive?
it's been divinely revealed to me that you're just upset because dinosaurs actually existed and the earth is an oblate spheroid, just like every other planet and star, and the economy didn't crash nor did the world end as you previously falsely prophesied.
and it's pretty boring engaging with your trolling at this point, and offensive watching you reject the words of Jesus.

Denying any part of Christ's mission is folly, obviously. We need to take the whole word into account HOWEVER...
Here's where i see it getting tricky. We are each called to a different set of standards, we have different roles to fulfill.
So enforcing individual doctrines might not be the best idea, not only for that reason, but also for the sake of the larger picture.
"But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned."

Ephesians 2:8,9
[SUP]8[/SUP]For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; [SUP]9 [/SUP]not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Tell me where in these verses is Salvation based on believing every Divine Revelation from God?
All we see is Grace and Faith being required to receive Salvation and be with the Lord. So why Spherical are you adding your works to receiving Salvation?
You do know its by the Grace from God who has given us the Faith we need to receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Not believing every Divine Revelation from God.
By insisting we have to believe in every Divine Revelation from God to receive Salvation, you are teaching a Salvation by Works.
I have read everything you have said and its clear to me you are parroting something someone has told you and not what God has reveled to us in the Scriptures.
Now Spherical show is where God has said in the Scriptures that Salvation is based on believing what is in the Scriptures. Salvation is based only on believing Jesus is God and this belief was given to us from God. God has given us the Faith needed to believe in Him. Our Faith does not come from us, our Faith was given to us by God.
