Ron,
That is a nice ideal, but not necessarily so.
A lot of folks do a lot of sifting, and come up with something a long way from truth.
Some folks put what they have been taught in the sifter, and come up believing not much of anything.
This idea that every individual is the sole arbiter of personal truth, and that there really are no absolutes, is not a Scriptural idea.
There are three elements that are in place that enable us to discern truth:
1. The Word of God--this is paramount.
2.The Holy Ghost--given us to lead and guide into all truth.
3.The five-fold ministry--without this, we cannot be perfected.
When you remove any of the three, and decide that you alone are the "sifter," you have concocted a recipe for deception just as sure as you are a foot high.
