It’s very simple. Oh, I’ve been helped by the Holy Spirit, but that same Holy Spirit is the one that encourages me to be familiar enough with the scriptures to recognize things that run counter to that which has been clearly revealed. So when I claim that the Holy Spirit assures me that the Book of Mormon is a false gospel, whereas you claim that He confirms it as truth, can it be that the same spirit is teaching opposite things as true? No, clearly one of us is being guided by a false spirit. The Bible provides us with very good guidelines for determine whether or not that is happened, but they are useless if we subordinate the authority of the Bible to that of the Book of Mormon or to a spirit who asserts authority over the Word of God.
God is not the author of confusion. He said that while heaven and earth would pass away, His words would not. Not even “many plain and precious things.”
