this, of course includes Acts 2:38; and I Corinthians 15:1-4.
Additionally, I would rather be among ministers that are "...apt to learn."

I agree but from my experience preachers are not willing to even consider something they might have missed if it will involve changing their ways.
That is very bad and definitely not spiritual. Your Holy Ghost should hear the Word.
If you are in-charge/over/whatever a flock you should very careful about what you are teaching them.
I myself left a church because it was teaching my children stuff I didn't agree with. I consider my household my church and it is up to me to make sure what they hear is truth.
Preachers need to be able to separate personal thoughts from God's thoughts. Then we could be in unity, preach truth and have church like God intended
Again I say if we accept anything less than 100% truth, God's coming was in vain because he brought it. Who God sent will speak God's Word
