[.. Yes, I get the exact same impression. So far, I've been chalking it up to man wanting to always be in control. It seems the Holy Spirit would be the likeliest target for manipulation, since of the Three He is the least understood by most people. ..]

The Holy Spirit cannot BE manipulated.. lead or duped..
Any that seem to be trying should be marked mentally and watched/monitored..
For whom they are trying to control is YOU..

Sad, but true. If the Holy Spirit obeys certain men, then who are we to resist?
