The statement that visions are not to be rejected absolutely qualifies the immediately preceding attack on fraudulent and ceremonial practices. The next condition is that they arise through another process, interpreted through Christian prayer and regeneration. Losing the negative adverbial qualification would turn a regulated acceptance into either blanket rejection or blanket endorsement, neither of which matches the passage.
