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

Too many folks are stuck in "denominational doctrine": which I would define as doctrine that does not measure up to scripture;
Definitely: we should be sensitive to the leading if the Holy Spirit and discern that which is our personal opinion;
We need to be wary of the Lord’s admonishment to the
“Watchman”;
Yes! We have the ultimate responsibility for our household:
“For your ways are not my ways, neither your thoughts
my thoughts…”. We need to make the Lord’s thoughts our thoughts; that His ways may become our ways;
Presently, the only 100% truth we have is the 100% we believe: unless we believe that our personal 100% is greater than
the 100% of the ministry; which is,
“…and some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers…”.
