1st John 2:27 = But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth 
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same 
anointing teacheth you all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as 
it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 

 
Warning! Do not make the mistake of thinking you know everything. No one 
alive today knows everything. Please remain humble, willing and eager to 
learn from God's Word and others. God despises the proud. Everything 
you have, including gifts of the Holy Spirit, are gifts to you from God. We 
don't deserve anything God has given us. He gives gifts to us, including the 
air we breath, because he loves us and is gracious to us. I don't think anyone 
alive today has 100% correct doctrine. So please don't trash your Christian 
brother. Instead, speak the word as accurately as you can, but in the spirit of 
love and truth. Remember, it is far more important that the fruits of the Holy 
Spirit, like love and patience, flow from our hearts, than it is that we exhibit 
any miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1st Corinthians chapter 13 and 
Galatians 5:22-23.
