Both. Just because something doesn’t logically follow (a fallacy) doesn’t mean that the slippery slope phenomenon doesn’t occur.

Re: The reality of the slippery slope?

If the scriptures say the foundation of God standeth sure. Then why are you saying it crumbles into tradition? Why not say people are losing their love of truth or similar.

Whatever truth that caused old time apostolics to practice their separation from the world standards is still out there and true but over time the standards themselves became the focal point instead of the true reason they were practiced in the first place. Over time as that focal point shifted the standards became traditions. Now we are at the point where the tradition is all most know and tradition is shaky foundation. It’s essy to overturn tradition.

Did you make sure to tell them that they didn't receive the Holy Spirit afterward?

No, most we never see again anyway. Plus, when it's accepted by others and the ministry that they got it, would be very hard to undo it.

I get it. It could be that a great many who think they have the Spirit do not. Perhaps only those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled?
