maybe this Scripture will hit home:
Acts 17:10-11
King James Version
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
(************and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.***********)
THAT is the point of this post and the video.
My contention is you need the Spirit of God to be able to rightly divide the word of God.
Why do you know bring into the discussion the fallibility of man, in particular false cultic leaders?
Can someone who is led by the Spirit of God be deceived by false prophets and teachers?
My handle is BereanBrain. You might know who the Bereans were in the bible.
“My contention is you need the Spirit of God to be able to rightly divide the word of God.”

And my point is both are needed. The Word is used to try the spirit. And the way to rightly divide the Word is exactly what is on this video.
“Why do you know bring into the discussion the fallibility of man, in particular false cultic leaders?”
Because many who have claimed to be of Divine Spirit are proven to be false apostles and teachers who fooled many because their followers never tried the spirit by the Word of God.
“Can someone who is led by the Spirit of God be deceived by false prophets and teachers?”
Not unless they fall from the Truth and surrender to doctrines of demons.
so you didn’t find out who the Bereans where, and why they were commended.
