Despite claims to the contrary I don't see the actual question answered:
"Second question .... How Can the Holy Spirit .... The Giver of all Truth... Be guiding so many people to so many different truths ?"
I saw an attempt at a response, but the response didn't address the question
"How can The Holy Spriit, The Giver of all Truth be guiding so many people in so many different truths?"
For instance . . take baptism . . there are many different beliefs and ALL claim to be led by the Holy Spirit in coming to their particular belief:
- Some believe you must be baptized by water to be saved.
- Others believe water Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but necessary as a matter of obedience.
- Still others are adamant that water Baptism is optional.
- Still others claim water Baptism was never for believers.
- Still others claim that Baptism does not refer to water baptism but baptism in the Holy Spirit and forgo water baptism altogether.
All claim to be led by the Holy Spirit into their understanding of truth.
Yet each claim of the truth is different, even contradictory.
How can all make a valid claim they are being led by the Holy Spirit into this truth about Baptism and end up with such contradictory results?
Where do you draw the line?
