If only the early Church would have had the wisdom of tenn2005 this thread wouldn't be necessary.

As soon as he would have tried to teach, he'd become a preacher, and thus a source of error. It's an enigma. Apparently you can be lead infallibly and personally to all truth by the Holy Spirit, but as soon as you start talking about it, you're wrong.

It would seem his model of a church is a light hidden under a bushel basket.

That is gnosticism -- the idea that salvation is through gnosis -- secret, isoteric knowledge that one does not share. It is not Christian thought. Tenn -- we ALL need to learn more of our faith, so join us in learning more -- read www.newadvent.com, read other books on the faith and teachings. You have the free will to decide.
