Not a Scriptural one

The Church teaches what the Holy Spirit tells her to teach. Parts of it is scripture. Parts are not. Deal with it. Isn't you the one claiming the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Do you now claim that He indwells in you alone?

I think my pontifications are much better known than was implied.

Of course Holy Spirit indwells all who authentically are Born again and seek earnestly after God and His ways--to walk in His Spirit and not after the flesh.

There's no guarantee that

ANY

SET OF RITUALS OR DOCTRINES OR HOOPS OR WHAT HAVE YOU

DONE IN THE FLESH AFTER THE ORDER AND INTERESTS OF THE FLESH

IN ANY

ORGANIZATION OR CONGREGATION

AVAILS

ANYTHING

for The Kingdom

or

for the individual concerned.

nor . . . really . . . for the congregation involved.

All congregations I've ever been in--even the best ones--teach hogwash to some degree sooner or later.

The best ones--it's very minor details around the fringes, most of the time.

For many, it's core doctrines of their structure and list of rules, customs.

And then when one considers

WHAT IS HOLY SPIRIT SAYING TO THIS CONGREGATION AT THIS MOMENT ON THIS DAY . . .

LOTS OF GROUPS are light years off the wall away from Holy Spirit's speaking whatever to them about what Holy Spirit has for them at that moment on that day. And that would be true of Pentecostal groups as well as non-Charismatic Roman groups.
