Not Alone, But With the Holy Spirit

Romantic Christianity is often denigrated for its apparent "go-it-alone" approach. This raises many red flags with mainstream Christians concerned about matters of spiritual authority.

William James Tychonievich succinctly tackles this "spiritual authority" concern by pointing out that -- contrary to appearances -- Romantic Christians are not really "going it alone" at all: 

"The ultimate spiritual authority is the Holy Ghost speaking to each believer's mind and heart, and all other authorities are downstream from that."

Man, I wish I had written that.
