Seamaster,

I believe that each believer is given the Holy Spirit as a deposit, a guarantee until the day in which Christ comes again, in which the promise is completely fulfilled.

The work the Holy Spirit does in the believer is multifaceted. He comforts, He helps us, He testifies truth to us, etc. Does He lead into complete knowledge of the truth? I haven't seen any evidence that this has happened to any believer (or church) yet. But yet we (the individual believer and the church) are still dependent upon Him to know ANY truth and outside of the Spirit we can know nothing.

Another thing to consider is that knowledge isn't the end all be all of being in the truth, one must own that knowledge and believe.

Mrs. L,

I agree with your last post as respects to the Holy Spirit and the person. However I believe that the Holy Spirit was given to the church to inspire the church just as Paul and Peter were inspired with truth when they were teaching. The Gates of Hell cannot overcome Christ's Church. Paul calls it the pillar and foundation of truth.

Truth is found in the church. The question then, is which one?

When this becomes of any significance, be sure and let me know!

Seamaster,

I don't think I have articulated myself properly because if I had you wouldn't be in agreement w/what I said!

Anyway, I have expended too much energy on this discussion already. But I would just like to point again to the inconsistency between your and texasag's beliefs as evidence that all RC's don't believe the same thing. (You didn't actually address this but no matter, I'll let you slide this time...)
