What you're calling "revelation" seems similar to what in the
Lutheran tradition is called _Schwaermerei_ or "enthusiasm", NOT in a
complementary sense. It is the idea that we can expect some immediate
inspiration of God which takes precedence over God's encounter with us
in Word & sacraments. It's that kind of thing which made Luther say of
Muentzer that he would trust him "if he had swallowed the Holy Ghost,
feathers and all."
