Do you believe that God could still speak audibly to us today?

I believe that God can do anything He wants to. However, if He were to do so, the words would line up perfectly with Scripture.

Well, my first response is, "Why would He do that?" In Scripture (and Scripture must always be our guide), God never speaks unless He has something to say. He reveals Himself for a purpose, and that purpose is always clear. As Henry Blackaby says, when God spoke in the Bible, three things were always clear:
1. That it was God who was speaking.
2. What God was saying.
3. What God wanted the person to do in response.
In the Bible, there are no examples that I can think of that God simply called someone's name and left it at that. All our experiences must be compared with Scripture to see if we are interpreting them correctly--to determine the truth of the matter.
