This teaching stresses the importance of reliance upon the Holy Spirit in all that we do. That is, just like Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit (
John 5:19) for what to say and do, we should stive to live thatt way. So, where are the red flags?.
We are supposed to grow in Christ till we get to the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Son of God, right?
Eph 4
13
until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ
