>>That is precisely why Jesus left us a Church with the Paraclete to guide it.<<

Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them

Don't try to give me that snow job the Catholic Church uses to usurp authority. The Holy Spirit is given to true believers individually to guard against the nicolaitan power grab of organizations like the Catholic Church.

The Holy Spirit is given to true believers individually to guard against the nicolaitan power grab of organizations like the Catholic Church.

It is a comfort to me personally to say the above true statement but with a slight difference:

"Individual true believers in Lord Jesus Christ alone are given to the Holy Spirit to guard against the nicolaitan power grab of organizations like the Catholic Church and other imposters."
