Literalism is certainly one of those and unbiblical private interpretation of the scriptures is another. By claming indwelling Spirit, in a way every Chrisina is claiming some degree inspiration. But naturally, one say that a dedicated physician inspired someone to become a doctor, or that a book was inspiring, or that one is inspired by God's goodness and love. Inspired simply means "moved" (quickened). Yet we also believe that the so-called truly "inspired" were only the Apostles, and the Church as a whole (through Ecumenical Councils).
What about someone like +Symeon the New Theologian or +Gregory of Nyssa or +Anthony the Great or +Athanasius the Great ...hmmm? What does one say about the inspired nature of writings of Christians who attained theosis? Because they could err, does that mean they couldn’t be inspired? Surely that can’t be true, Kosta. The Apostles were great doubters and deniers. I think The Church means exactly what it says in the Kontakia.
Illumination is a much better application.

That is precisely why I asked for clarification on the level of "inspiration" being spoken of.(wink)
I suppose you do not include the council of Constantinople, AD 754 in that "inspired" category?
