I certainly didn’t take the time to check all the links out.

That process, as I understand it, is admirably rigorous.

However, as in any congregation or denomination . . . group think; leadership power-mongering, insecurities and ego demands etc. can all sabotage Holy Spirit’s discernment in such a process.

I Cor 14 is the model. I don’t think the process, this side of Heaven, is flawless in all it’s results in all contexts. Humans are still quite fallible, flawed, sinful at their more or less best—at least part of the time, if not part of each day. Groups of humans discerning a given event, incident, “miracle,” etc. can be a collection of crazy thinking as much as they can be a collection of Holy Spirit leading. There are dozens of factors contributing to the group output on such a task. Not all those factors are anointed or purified in any given group, much less all such groups in all denominations.

Thanks, Quix. That one just caught my eye. I’m reading the rest of this tonight. Very interesting!
