No.

The divine may be limitedly revealed to one who does not have the capacity to comprehend that which is limitless. In other words, the limitation in this case would be in the receiver of the inspiration, not the giver.

Thereby making your if-then clause not categorically true.

This believer rejects the idea of limitless divine inspiration when it comes to some NEW revelation.
Unless it's in the Bible already, I would question the source of the inspiration.

Are you asking if in accepting the Bible as God's revelatory communication to man, a Christian must reject the idea that God can provide additional inspiration?

Theologically, if someone receives divine inspiration that does not contradict the Bible, it is possible it is true. Naturally, there are a lot of details therein, but there will be no "new" revelations that change the nature of man's relationship with God through Christ, and vice versa, before the end of time, again, theologically speaking.

Blind faith is risky, and should no longer be inspired. opposite to what many have self belief real Christian faith is in accordance with sturdy provable education. Hebrews a million NW a million faith is the certain expectation of issues was hoping for, the obtrusive demonstration of realities although no longer beheld. regrettably many are inspired to dispute, doubt, and 2d- guess, the main attested of all historical Books. a decision of historical Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek texts, meticulously copied and preserved over the centuries against all odds. there is attainable at present, approximately 6000 manuscript copies [MSS] in particular in historical Hebrew, and approximately 5300 MSS in Koine Greek. A careful assessment, show thoughts-blowing accuracy, yet, additionally show, striking blunders in a handful of previous due MSS in Greek. those blunders are in particular in the king James variations, and are, a million John 5:7 [comma Johanneum]; a million Timothy 3:sixteen; and Revelation a million:11. debatable textual content. A debatable textual content is John a million:1c, which whilst seen in the context of the finished Bible, which contain the finished verse itself, should not be debatable. Coptic translations attainable relationship 2d century C.E. that have been written whilst Koine Greek became into nonetheless cutting-edge, are additionally in settlement with the main remarkable rendering of the be conscious being, godlike or divine. 1864 "and a god became into the be conscious" The Emphatic Diaglott by skill of Benjamin Wilson. 1935 "and the be conscious became into divine" The Bible- An American Translation, by skill of J.M.P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed, Chicago. 1950 "and the be conscious became right into a god" New international Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, Brooklyn. So, then, having shown the reliability of the Bible, it turns into just about impossible for one's faith to be derailed, if one sticks to the holy Writings [accuratley rendered Bible].
