If there is any doubt then why bother trying to live the way God wants us to.. might as well party and enjoy ourselves. I understand what you mean in reference to a person saying "God told me this, or God told me that", but to include the Bible with those examples..well that I do not understand.
By the way..when i say "you", I am speaking in general and it applies to anyone.. not you particularly. Although after reading all of these posts I am curious..just exactly what do you believe?

If you simply decide to believe the Bible is God's Word, that's just the start. You have to decide which doctrines derived form the Bible are the correct ones.
Oneness? There's Bible for that. Trinity? There's Bible for that. It's just a matter of interpretation. And you can't just say "I let the Bible speak for itself" -- lots of people say that, and yet come up with extremely different beliefs.
Maybe that's why Jesus predicted that some believers would be rejected, even though they thought they got it right. "Lord, Lord..." "I never knew you." They guessed wrong.
