Discernment is greatly needed in today's Christian movements.

I could not agree more. However, I think that fear cannot drive the church. Fear of being "too emotional" has caused many churches to err on the side of conservativism. They are so afraid to be "driven" by emotion that they reign in the movement of the spirit so much that the service becomes one that is man controlled instead of spirit controlled.

You are very right!

There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
~1 John 4:18

The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.
~Proverbs 29:25
