Not a problem Erick. Consider the fact that each one of us is wrong somewhere. Listen humbly and stand on Scripture boldly. Read with discernment and yet with grace. Recognize that the more theology men learn the greater understanding they have that we are all just one thought away from heresy. As one grows to understand God and think His thoughts after Him one is better equipped to recognize heresy and avoid its allurements. And keep in mind that church ministry is paramount. Few heresies are born in churches; they're almost all born in the name of scholarly pursuits. The same understanding that helps one avoid the allure of heresy can be used to help others understand God better and grow in His grace. Strive to understand the mind of God and minister to the souls He entrusts to your care.
