The Bible teaches that when you are saved, you are changed by the Holy Spirit, as Titus 3:5 says, “he saved us... by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.” This happens the moment you trust in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9), making you a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17). But the idea that your spiritual growth depends on finding the right place, people, or books isn’t fully supported by Scripture. The Bible says growth comes from reading and obeying God’s Word with the Holy Spirit’s help. Psalm 119:105 calls God’s Word “a lamp to my feet and a light to my path,” and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says Scripture is all you need to grow and be equipped for good works. Bibles are easy to find and read, and free audio Bibles are available anytime, so everyone can access God’s Word. While meeting with other believers is helpful (Hebrews 10:24-25), your growth mainly depends on how you respond to the Bible, as shown in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-23). The Holy Spirit works in you (Philippians 2:13), and God’s Word is enough to make you grow (John 17:17). So, while Christians grow at different rates, you don’t need special places or people, just stay in the Bible, which is simple and always available.
We are on the same page. Of course anyone can grow spiritually, if they seriously study the Bible, but my response was directed at the statements on this thread, that some churches lack solid teaching.
