A; Matthew 15:7-9; John 16:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3; Jude 3. The Truths of the Bible were reveled by the Holy Spirit to inspired prophets (John 16:12-16; Ephesians 3:3-5; 2 Peter1:21; 1 Corinthians 2:13). The Bible is Precise in its accuracy ( John 10:35; Matthew 22:23-33; Galations 3:16). It Must be followed very carefully (Matthew 7:13-14,21; John 15:10; Galations 1:6-8; 2 John9). these are what i believe and live by.
Your on track Kathy. The bible says that no man needs to be taught. Just follow the Lord and he reveals the way. God writes what he want and expects of us on our hearts. We feel it within and we know.

(20) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, (21) to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3: 14-20)
Follow the lead of the holy spirit. Paul said " I know nothing but Christ". That's the way I feel. traditions mean nothing to me and I do not need them to be saved. I need Christ and him alone. ( Holy Spirit ).
