It’s apparent that you don’t believe much in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Too bad. It would be of great benefit to you.

Oh I believe in them and I believe that they exist and that the Holy Spirit liberally distributes them.

I don’t believe that the Holy Spirit is leading prancing, dancing, strutting peacocks who claim that every deed that they do is led by the Holy Spirit, and that they personally are justified because they have a Gnostic belief that they personally are inhabited by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

I don’t believe these folks at all. I think that many are phony opportunists, many are sincere but misled, and many are simply wrong.

Jesus left us His Church. If your indwelling Holy Spirit is confirmed by the Church, then I will believe it. If you repudiate the Church, then logically, you cannot be led by the Holy Spirit.
