As I quote, "I know of no one who has left the Lord’s recovery and today is a great spiritual person on the earth." There are several questions to be asked.
1. How would Benson know if he doesn't maintain fellowship following their separation from Living Stream Ministry and it's fellowship of churches? Does Benson check to see how John Ingalls and Bill Mallon are doing spiritually? Does Benson visit Bill Freeman to see how he's doing spiritually? There are many other gifted brothers who have left the recovery, but you get my point. Fellowship is only relative to the ministry LSM publishes.
2. What is Benson's measuremenwhat makes a great spiritual person? I believe you almost have to say this implies being ambitious to be something. Many brothers who left did not have an ambition to be something. Only to be witnesses, to minister the Word, to teach the Word, and so on.
