Spirit reminded them

After the resurrection Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to remind them of what they were taught and to guide them in the truth as they continued to study.
They did not depend on getting special knowledge. All of the Old Testament was now pregnant with the New Teaching of Peace; the New Jerusalem. The Spirit guided them as they searched the scriptures and studied to show that they were approved by God. They did not rely on special knowledge to show they were approved by God. The modern fortune teller has no credibility because he does not know the truth of the Word of God.
If someone tells you they are a prophet and cannot show you Christ from the OT mystery, then they are not hearing from the Spirit of God, since that is his primary purpose. The Spirit assisted the OT prophets in hiding the mystery, and he helps NT prophets unpack it. Jesus told us not to worry about the future, so why would we need fortune tellers to tell us the future? Paul says that he wishes that we would all prophesy; that we would all understand the mystery.
I have heard Christians say they don't need to study doctrine because they know God. Doctrine IS the knowledge of God. Many create false Gods by imagining a god after their own image rather than learn what God has taught.
