“It gets no more dangerous than denying the power of the Holy Spirit.”
More dangerous than corrupting, faking, and prostituting the power of the Holy Spirit?
Both are equally dangerous.
Absolutely. Your examples represent scams and impostures. They are bad but in no way to be compared with actually denying the power of the Holy Spirit.
If the Holy Spirit elects to fill an individual or a church/assembly—and if the filling/pouring out results in the manifestation of spiritual gifts—it is not our job to question or deny Him. That is playing with fire. DV called it blasphemous. I cannot argue with that characterization.

The Holy Spirit has never lent his power for the advancement of persons.
