Reread Romans 10 after returning to Him in faith and prayer so that He may guide your soul, spirit, and heart.

I have, and I find your comment somewhat patronizing, as if I have never read Romans 10 in faith and prayer, and as if all disagreements between the 20,000+ Christian sects could be cleared up just by having them all read the Scriptures with faith and prayer. That's precisely what got us into the 20,000+ mess in the first place.

I've read through your post a couple times, and I still cannot find any explanation of how to determine who has the Spirit. It looks like another purely subjective determination.

It doesn't really matter. Our salvation isn't from other men, but from God Himself, through faith in only one man who is both God and Man.

Finding an appropriate pastor-teacher is fine, but again, that will come from the Holy Spirit and the logistical predestination that God has already set in motion.

Place it in His hands and let Him do the work.

In regards to patronizing,..don't take my word for it,..simply place faith in Him and take His Word for it. It is purely a relationship between the believer and God, always through faith in Him.
