I would measure your teaching against the Word. If found to be in contradiction of truth you would be a false prophet.

But we are arguing about what the Word means. You are arguing that you will only follow those whose understanding of the Word is the same as yours. This is a tautology. You are, in effect saying that the only one that you can be certain that the Holy Spirit is working through is ealgeone. But what if eagleone is mistaken about the Word, where can he find the true Church that will correct him?

I don't agree with the assertion stated above.

There are millions of Christians who read the Word and come to the same conclusions.

There may be some minor disagreement on some things but on the primary issue there is no disagreement.

Christianity teaches Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (see 1 John)

Faith in Him, and Him alone, is required for salvation (John 3:16). There is no one else we can turn to or should turn to for our salvation (John 14:6).

He is the one time sacrifice for our sins (Heb 10:12).

He is the only offering we have need of (Heb 10:14).

He forgives all of our sins and in fact rubs them out (Col 2:13-14).

He, and only He, is our Redeemer (Is 44:24).

He, and only He, is and Mediator (1 Tim 2:5; Heb 9:15). There are no others. None.

Believers have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and are never unsealed (Eph 1:13-14).

We can be confident, because of Him, of our salvation (1 Jn 5:13).
