They are too experience oriented and tend to compare Scripture to their experience instead of their experience to Scripture.

And, God forbid that you question their "experience"! It's an insipid thing that the enemy of our souls worms into their expectations. It's like it never occurs to them that what they experienced wasn't from God. Instead, we are expected to just take them at their word that they are speaking the truth because "why would God allow deceit into their lives" when they are so dedicated to Him? Being a Christian is no guarantee that the devil will leave you alone. In fact, it should be a given that he WILL try at any chance to defeat us - especially when we are influencing others.

No kidding.

Then you get accused of the unforgivable sin.

I'm not questioning that they experienced something.

I'm just questioning whether it's from God, regardless of how warm and fuzzy it feels.
