Default Permission to test all things

This is a message to all our guests. I transcribed the Introduction to the "Unchained" channel. If you hesitate to jump in, this might help.

But first:
Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Here's a message from Chris Wilde regarding the stance of the co-workers regarding testing the ministry of Witness Lee. The Bereans in Acts17:11 were told to test the ministry of the apostle Paul. This message is part of the introductory video Witness Lee's Teachings are Not Infallible > Fast forward to minute 13:46.

and I would tell them directly because—Benson and the other brothers also told me something else, they said ‘when you’re challenged, then you can tell them with absolute assurance if you can show us whre, in the Bible, not in Christian tradition, but in the Bible, what we’re teaching or what they taught—is wrong—we will change. If you can absolutely demonstrate according to scripture, that that teaching is in error, we will change. And, that came from Benson, that came from Andrew, came from several brothers.

(14:32/17:38)
From the video: OK. Chris Wilde says “If it can be shown that “the ministry” is in error, they will change.” He doesn’t say they will “make accusations;” he doesn’t say they will call you “divisive;” he doesn’t say they will threaten the saints that they are “touching death” if they read or hear your arguments or your testing process; he doesn’t say they will call your testing process an “attack.” He said quite simply and quite plainly that they will change. WE WILL CHANGE.
