Since they all disagreed with each other, which of the Protestant Reformers was being led by the Spirit?

That would be similar to asking who was being led by the Spirit, Paul or Barnabus when they each went their separate ways over the dispute with Mark? Was Paul wrong to complain about Mark? Was Mark wrong? Was Barnabus wrong for siding with Mark? Mark and Paul were both apostles. Who was being led by the Spirit.

There were always disagreements in the early church and some of those disagreements are recorded for our edification.

Thanks for that great example.

Perfect knowledge is impossible. But what God wants us to know and to do is knowable and doable, and those things are found in Scripture.

The best advice for conflicting points of view is just to return to Scritpure and read. The answer is always there.

But the difference is that Paul and Barnabus didn't divide the Church and start their own denominations.
