Legalism is wrong. It entails taking the Bible literally rather than contextually, though some things in the Bible are meant to be taken literally (such as John 3:16,17) and using the bible as a rule book rather than 66 (number of books in the Bible) love letters from God. People do hear from Jesus Himself too and the Holy Spirit tells people things. An example of legalism would be insinuating that Rosa Parks sinned against God when she refused to give her seat to a white passenger on the Montgomerery Alabama bus that sparked the civil rights movement.
