Why does everyone seem to need to come up with their own belief and doctrinal formula?

"I never KNEW YOU.........Depart from ME".....

See those?
They were casting out devils in "Jesus's name".. obviously disciples of Christ yet, went to hell.

That’s a tough lesson there! If one performed miracles in Jesus name is not a sign of closeness with Christ, we must remain extra-ordinarily humble.

Paul never claimed that His Gospel was self derived, nor did i say Paul's Gospel was self derived.

It is you who needs to be honest. Here you have done it again, calling God's/Jesus' gospel "Paul's." Make up your mind, and stop speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

I agree. There is only 1 Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are billions of testimonies and witnesses through the Millenia, including the Apostles and us living today.

Back when I enjoyed Pentecostal Holiness church services I heard it prophesied that in the last days the people were going to have to, "cut their own paths." As I was enjoying the multiple church services a week I let it slide in one ear and out the other.

Until... Post covid. With so many of God's people looking like totem poles I can see the need to cut paths to new thinking. Hoping, though, that it is biblical and led of the Holy Spirit.
