Not only would awareness's "test" cause every true apostle to flunk, but even our Heavenly Apostle would flunk that test. While on earth, the Jews attempted to "play" the Lord on numerous occasions, asking for signs and wonders. Even the Roman guards taunted Him saying, "play the prophet." He did nothing to oblige them. He appeared to them as totally incompetent, like some dumb sheep headed for slaughter. He never came to this earth to be a miracle worker.

Our Lord Jesus refused to be the circus performer that you and awareness seem to desire.
When I said "ask them to do a miracle" I was humorously making the point to check on whether the miraculous signs of a apostle have accompanied their ministries.

Obviously, asking them to do a sign on the spot was not my point. You should have realized that. But I guess you figure I'm as dumb as the point you thought I made.
