Isn't it interesting how many pastors claim that they have the "holy spirit" guiding them, so therefore they have the right interpretation - and then they point at the other pastors who have the "holy spirit" guiding them as well, but they have the wrong interpretation.   I mean, just in modern mainline Protestantism, you have:
Lutheran / Anglican / Calvinist / Continental or American Reformed / Presbyterian / Congregational / Anabaptist / Free Evangelical / Methodist / Holiness / Baptist / Pentecostal / Charismatic and Neo-Charismatic / Christ Apostolic / Zion Christian / Quaker / Adventist / Family International 
   and there are dozens of splits in each of these sects, and I know I didn't even begin to name all of them . . . all split from each other because one group who had the "holy spirit" disagreed with another group who had the "holy spirit".  

I was baptized Southern Baptist and then raised Church of God Holiness.  You should have heard the trash talk from the pulpit in the "Holiness" church about all of the other deluded "so-called Christians" who did not follow the scriptures properly.  

And they all claimed to be guided by the "holy spirit".  How interesting.  Apparently the "holy spirit" doesn't understand the wholly babble either.

 It boils down to one thing, a persons willingness to accept what the Holy Spirit teaches without laying heavily on preconceived notions. Those who have wrong ideas and reject the teaching of the Holy Spirit is the reason there are so many denominations, that and people following wrong teachers. Like I've said before I'm Southern Baptist but I do not hold to all the teachings of the church, are they right or am I or maybe neither, but I'm still Southern Baptist because I believe the Southern Baptist are closer to the truth than any other denomination.

So - you're saying essentially the same thing that I said.  You're saying that that other guys are wrong.  They claim to be led by the Holy Spirit too, but either the Spirit's message is being blocked or warped, by their own preconceived notions or wrong teachers.  My point is if the Holy Spirit was capable of sending a clear and concise message, there would be no blockage, and no wrong teachers.   Everyone who was being led by the Holy Spirit would be in total agreement - no matter which church, which version of the Bible, which culture or language.
