John 16:13 is an important passage because it '''helps us avoid two common mistakes'''.
John 16:13 must be read in context.  Jesus is speaking here to the disciples.  Is the passage directed at all believers for all time?  Or is it directed to the apostles, to whom the Holy Spirit would reveal all truth and who would then write this truth down to form the canon of scripture?  This verse is one of the most widely used passages by cults to justify aberrant and false teaching.
 
As a result, John 16:13 is an important passage because it '''helps us avoid two common mistakes'''.
