The Holy Spirit works within a soul to produce a Christ like nature, there-fore any oral doctrines or traditions that may not be strictly found in scripture that never -theless assist that soul in its growth will have no opposition by the Holy Spirit.

I don't trust that at all.

“I don’t trust that at all”

Which is why we also have written scripture and histories of various Christian “fathers of the faith”(both Catholic and Protestant) by which we can also measure our growth and to know when we are going astray. We also have our brethren in our various chuches, who when seeing that we are over-taken with a fault can come and attempt to gently lead us back to the path of Christ. We are also surrounded by a whole cloud of witnesses who have gone on to Christ before us, who are praying and rooting for us. We have the Holy Spirit so that we are never alone and totally powerless! It was all designed by Christ to be that way, it is called his church, his BRIDE!
