We are creatures of spirit and live in a world of spirits. When one is “moved” or has a revelation by a spirit, it is best to test that motivation by comparing it to what is taught by scripture. That reproof is what allows us to verify that it is the Holy Spirit that is leading us and not the temptation of false spirits.

We are fully agreed.
There are some, however, who want to deny the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth and often denigrate the idea by showing contempt of the the Holy Spirit's work by claiming/insinuating that personally interpreting the scripture is solely based on "feeling"/emotionality. (See Post 142)

And if you kept up with the thread, I was informed that my Church is “corrupt” which seems to be a rather prevalent protestant dogma. In fact that was the start of my line of questioning to begin with. The article is based on falsehood of catholic teaching, which so far nobody has bothered to answer.

So, every Bible believing Protestant is assured of the Holy Spirit assisting them with their personal interpretation of Scripture yet the Catholic Church is not given the same benefit.

Yeah.
