Scriptural teaching is clear that man is totally depraved and has no ability, nor can anyone perform any work to save himself. Salvation and its application to the sinner's heart is all of God. Also the author suggests that enneagram teachers should be licensed. Shortly thereafter he critiques enneagrams from a theological perspective. The author at times places the voice of the Church on the level of Scripture.
Scriptural teaching is totally authoritative.
Whatever the Church says must take second place to Scripture and must be judged in light of the Bible. If Church pronouncements are on the level of Scripture, then Scripture is insufficient. If Scripture is insufficient for daily life, the door is open for members to look elsewhere for teachings that will fill the void. The author does not counsel Catholics to leave the Catholic church, yet he does advise them to attend Catholic churches that are not involved in the New Age Movement. The fact that a denomination countenances this teaching and advises seminarians to take courses that teach New Age doctrine points out that the denomination has serious problems.
