"I have just awakened from a late afternoon nap. Just before fully awakening, I began to feel like I was being lifted up in the spirit."
Sounds like an experience in sleep paralysis and hypnogogic imagery to me. I've had them a zillion times. I've flown through the layers of the Earth, fought the minions of Hell in my bedroom, and took more than a few trips to Paradise on angel's wings. If I wasn't such a skeptic I might take myself for a prophet too. I'm not saying that real spiritual revelation isn't possible, but the odds of self-delusion are incredibly high.
Certainly the verification process in I Cor 14 is important and put there for probably several reasons.
I disagree about the analysis of this one. This person tends to have many inputs which ring true to my spirit.
Skepticism can be healthy to a point. Beyond that point, it's an affinity for a TYPE II error vs TYPE I error--or vice versa.
THINKING that something is really there when it isn't
is NOT really MORE righteous
than
thinking that something is NOT really there when it is.
