When someone thinks they are especially "spiritual", they will inevitably start thinking they are invincible the unknown. And even the Bible warns against the dangers of pretension.

Pretension, that's acting spiritually. Really acting spiritual is just creating a mask for their soul.
In the local churches, so much emphasis on "being an overcomer" that brothers and sisters feel inadequate, at least I have for having an inability to remain in your spirit 24/7.
Having lived in a brothers house I have seen the "gnashing of teeth" from my brothers when they or others have just dedicated several hours of our evening watching a Mariners game.
In the meetings, the facade of being spiritual, is proclaiming a phrase in a loud voice. The fallen concept is if you're not being heard, you're not in spirit.
