God revealed the true Gospel through Christ, once and for all. That is the living word. There are no new, extra, correctional, or valid messages, least of all, from other fake Christs (such as the channeled one in 'A Course in Miracles')

(b) do you consider Biblical channellers such as, say, Saint Paul, also to be fakes;
|
St Paul was not a channeller.

(c) if not, what is your rationale for considering all modern-day channellers to be fakes, but all the ancient Biblical channellers to be genuine.

God inspired the Gospel writers through the Holy Spirit. That is not channelling. My knowledge of the Old Testament is not that good. Why do you believe there were channellers in the Bible?
If, whatever entity is being channelled does not worship the one true, living God and believe in his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, then that entity is either an illusion or comes from Old Nick's stable. To date, I have never heard of a channelled entity that said it believed in God and the Christ as announced in the Gospels.

Other interesting questions are:
(1) Do you consider God to be able to communicate with human beings, through their minds;
|
Probably not; he speaks to the heart.

(2) if so, do you consider God as being able to speak through one human being, to other human beings;
|
N/A

(3) if your answer to the above 2 questions is "yes", do you not think that it is very UNLIKELY that nowhere in the world today, God is doing (2)?

N/A
I believe there are good spirits, for example one's Guardian Angel, but they cannot be channelled in the usual sense of the word. God cannot be channelled.
Some online definitions of channelling:
The act or practice of serving as a medium through which a spirit guide purportedly communicates with living persons.
esp. in some New Age beliefs, the process by which a person becomes a conduit for a deceased person, as someone from an ancient culture, who imparts information about a previous life.
The practice of professedly entering a meditative or trancelike state in order to convey messages from a spiritual guide.
