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."

>>"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."<<

A better and more concise rendering indeed.

[Mark17]

"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."

Speaking of other imposters, have you ever dealt with the INC? (Iglesia ni Cristo) That has got to be one of the worst, and most pernicious cults on earth. If you think the RCC is hard to deal with, you haven't seen anything yet. I believe there are probably more Muzzies coming out of Islam and getting saved than there are INC members doing the same. I have only ever known of ONE. I am sure there might be others, but not many. There is no doubt in my mind who spawned the INC.
