The question misses the point a bit. The _only_ message the
Holy Spirit carries is "Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
All doctrine flows out of this and any doctrine which
contradicts this is heretical.

I didn't use the words "correct understanding of doctrine."
It's easy to pooh-pooh the idea of a pedant who is overly
attached to the letter of sophisticated doctrine. But
that is not the picture here. When Scripture speaks of
"the faith", then it is speaking of doctrine. And we're
not so concerned with head-knowledge but instead the
conviction of one's heart. Certainly head knowledge must
follow the heart and inform the heart, but it is the
heart which "holds" the faith (or doctrine.) People aren't
converted because they are logically argued into a corner,
but rather because the Word has been preached to them and
the Holy Spirit changes their heart with it.

And infant can hold the doctrine in this sense (and this is
the sense in the Nicene Creed.)

Proving: If we present the doctrine of the Trinity as
"here's a list of statements you must subscribe to" then
we've got the cart in front of the horse. The Gospel is
comfort and the doctrine of the Trinity preaches that
comfort. It says that Jesus has a divine nature (hurrah!)
and a human nature (huzzah!) It's not a doctrine for our
understanding but for our joy.

This doesn't mean the doctrine is mysterious or hard to
understand, but only that cognition is not its purpose.
We tell about God for only one purpose, and that is
to spread the Gospel to hungry souls.

I'm thinking of John 8. In verse 28 Jesus says they will _know_
that He is who He says He is. _Knowing_, they deny. This
is the unforgivable sin. "If you deny Me before men, I will
deny you before My Father."

Doesn't JW doctrine deny that
