“Guidance from the Hoy Spirit” for you, but not for the early Church fathers who painstakingly sorted out and assembled the books you call scripture under Petrine authority?
Read about the 7 "churches" listed in Revelation and see how reliable "early church" practices or beliefs and their leaders were already by 96AD. You want to put your faith in anyone after the apostles go right ahead. Evidence is that they weren't doing so well.
