The dangerous aspect is to "Lord it Over" weaker Christians who have not had the finer points of scripture revealed to them... That is the reason I really started this thread. I think we have to be extremely humble in our orthodoxy.

Just a quick note: There is a reason God has given pastors and teachers, etc. to the Church. Don't misunderstand, I heartilfy affirm the perpescuity of Scripture...but God has given leaders in the Church to teach us some more difficult things. Note: Those men are fallen as well.
