You have some good points. However, I think that throughout all the ages till the dark ages, God lead his people with prophets and apostles- he has even promised to do so in these days- "and I will give power unto my two witness, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth" Rev. 11:3 (see also versus 4-12, Rev19:10). While I agree with alot of your ideas, I think that the Heavens must open again, the question then is how do you recongize a true prophet from a false one? Prophets teach the true doctrine of Christ, how many different doctrines of baptism are there among the churches today? How many different ideas of salvation? If the bible is the standard, then there must be "one faith, one baptism"? Just an idea.

True doctrine is inherently orthodox - meaning it does not change to suit various political/cultural milieu. The faith once for all delivered to the saints is contained in Holy Scripture, not in the carnal minds of men and women. Salvation (according to Holy Scripture) is by faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on calvary. Scripture is the standard by which all doctrine should be measured. It is the doctrines of men of demons that are ripping apart the Body of Christ. As Christians we can choose to tolerate that carnage, or resist it. God is sovereign and He will have His way, regardless. The choice to obey His Word remains with us.
