Comment:	Hi Barbara, You're right that we shouldn't argue, but it is only right, not wrong, to practise Biblical and spiritual discernment. You can read in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 the command to test that is to make a thorough examination of actions/teaching/prophecy –of anything that purports to come from God Himself: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”(NKJV) I cannot read your heart - only God can, but you appear to be very earnest for God. We should want the best for each other as members of the Body of Christ, but we simply cannot accept anything and everything as coming from God! If you are eager for the things of God, please could I refer you to http://www.newchristian.org.uk/mixtureinthechurch.html The Reality of Mixture in the Church? This is written by Peter Horrobin, president of Ellel Ministries (USA) and International Director of Ellel Ministries. In it, he teaches about the important place of spiritual discernment in the Body of Christ and about the Lakeland “revival”. If you want to go deeper in your walk with God, the Bible is crucial in the believer’s life. The message here goes beyond the superficial, and I would encourage anyone who believes in the importance of knowing the truth (not mere words but spiritual truth) in God’s Word would read this prayerfully and ask God to give you His wisdom and understanding. No one spoke more about truth than the Lord Jesus Christ – go see how often the word ‘truth’ is mentioned! And He said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in my word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”(NKJV) With love in Christ.
