I'm full of myself because I dare to say that the indwelling Spirit of God leads me???

To use the wisdom of Athonite Archimandrite Sophrony, who says: "The Holy Spirit comes when we are receptive. He does not compel. He approaches so meekly that we may not even notice."

Humility, FK, humility.

With all due humility, I'm very pro-humility. :) How am I not being humble? You seem to hold the view that the Spirit doesn't come to me, but only to the hierarchs. Am I not receptive? From your other posts you seem to think that my side just makes up everything because we disagree with your leaders. We just believe in the Bible, not ourselves. We believe the Spirit works in all believers, not just a tiny few.
