You wrote: "There are nearly as many beliefs about Jesus Christ as there are people. So either everyone is right, which is illogical, or the Holy Spirit is very confused."

There's another option: that everyone is right enough about the things the Holy Spirit cares about, and that the things that the 70,000 Christian denominations bicker about, which separate them from each other, are simply not interesting to God and God doesn't CARE what we think about them. It may be that God cares about a few ESSENTIAL TRUTHS, and that everybody who adheres to those is blessed by Him. And that the rest of these things we bicker about and which we think are important and which divide us are just poppycock and the valiant strivings of dust with other piles of dust.

In other words, the Holy Spirit isn't confused at all. We are. We are conceited enough to believe that God cares about the silly things we bicker about.

So, no one disagrees on the Trinity? No one disagree on whether baptism is necessary? No one disagrees on whether faith alone is sufficient? No one disagrees on whether Jesus Christ was God? What, then, is necessary?

I think you may be over-generalizing. Even the most fundamental beliefs about Christ are disputed amongst Christians "inspired by the Holy Spirit."
