Good position. One discernment I've found to help me from falling out of fellowship while engaged with others (and I'm still working at keeping in this light) is to discern in our walk between reaction and response.
While remaining in fellowship with Him we respond to situations, whereas if we slip and exalt ourselves or act independently of the spirit through Him, we tend to react to situations.
Interestingly, the phrase, 'responsible for one's actions' and 'higher level of responsibility' take on slightly different, more robust meanings in that vein.
Well said.
