Conversely when their speaking is contrary to the Bible is when one should not go along with the speaking of a brother.

Terry,

Agreeing that a brother's speaking is according to the Bible is far different than unconditionally submitting to him.

And even if you do submit, you're not submitting to him, you're submitting to the Word. The point to realize is that he is not the Bible, no matter how accurating he quotes it or interprets it.

But again, were you implying that we could know whether someone is fully or partially filled in their spirit?
