FOLKS WHO LIVE AND WALK AS THE ABOVE ARE IN ALL THE REMOTELY BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS.

(Please, not all caps.) If folks who are being led by the Holy Spirit are in "all remotely Biblical Christian organizations", then why are they dividing the Body of Christ by remaining divided, contrary to Christ's desire expressed in His high priestly prayer in John 17? If they were really being led by the Holy Spirit, they would not be dividing the Body of Christ.

"[A truly spiritual disciple] shall judge those who make schism and are destitute of the love of God, who look to their own advantage rather than to the unity of the Church, who for any kind of trifling reason cut apart and divide the great and glorious body of Christ, and destroy it insofar as they are able -- men who talk of peace while making war."

St. Irenaeus, "Against Heresies", 4.33.7

c. 180 AD

There are many answers and some myteries to that.

But, I'm off to the college to teach.

Hey, everybody. Sorry I'm so late to the beer-brawl. But I don't have Internet access on the weekend. What'd I miss?
