"How shall the Holy Spirit make this determination known to us?"

By the reading of His Word. Again, I know, a foreign concept to you. As once believed by the Catholic Church that only priests had the right to read his word.

Darn that Martin Luther anyway.

By the reading of His Word.

The Holy Spirit shall come to us and read His Word?

Darn that Martin Luther anyway....deleting entire books from his version of the Bible. I agree with you, it's shameful.

Notice your circular reasoning: You claim to determine the correct interpretation of Scripture by having the Holy Spirit.

Then you claim to show that you have the Holy Spirit by appealing to Scripture.

And how do know that your appeal to Scripture is correct? Oh yes, because you have the Holy Spirit. And on and on goes the circle.

That's the same circle I see over and over again among Protestants. It is simply gnosticism.
