Passages I refer to:
“it is a goal of Divine providence that a person act in freedom in accordance with his reason.” (Divine Providence, paragraph 97)

"I then again came into such a state that in my thoughts I was neither sleeping nor awake. I thought, What may this be? Is it Christ, the Son of God, that I have seen? Is it a sin that I am doubting it, but as it is commanded that we are to try the spirits, I reflected on everything, and I found from that which had occurred the previous night, that I had been purified by the Holy Spirit during the whole night, and encompassed and preserved, and thus prepared for this purpose. And from the fact that I fell upon my face,- and that the words which I spoke and the prayer which I said did not come from myself, but that the words were put in my mouth, although it was I that spoke, and that everything was holy,- I perceived that it was Son of God Himself who descended with such a resounding noise which by itself prostrated me to the ground, and that it was He who effected the prayer and thus declared it to be Jesus Himself." (Swedenborg's Journal of Dreams, paragraph 55)

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. (1 John 4:1-3)

“Equally I assert that from the first day of my calling I have not received any instruction concerning the doctrines of that [new church, which is the New Jerusalem] from any angel, but only from the Lord, while I was reading the Word.” (True Christian Religion, paragraph 779)
