This proves that this method is not fool-proof. If it doesn't always work, it doesn't always work. Period.

Furthermore, it's quite certain that some of the people who say it works are sometimes wrong. Of what value is a supposed method of testing an alleged message from God, if the method is unreliable? If you can't tell when it worked correctly? Anyone who thinks the test passed, including you, could simply be deluded.

Hmm, I didn't say it didn't work for me, but that I was still coming to an understanding of it, and my unclear answers were satisfied later.
The method is fool-proof, except for fools, and as evidence I present the relevant Bible verses. If you find that it doesn't edify you, then by all means don't use it! And don't expect it to provide irrefutable proof of God's existence if you currently doubt; this does not exist for that, I'm pretty sure.
And for future ref, nothing I ever say should provide proof, for a sensible person at least, that a Biblical method for anything, described in detail in the Bible, is not "fool-proof."

I see your reasoning here, Timmy, and I undertand it. I'd like to communicate to you, in any way possible, that if you keep looking for ways to possibly get zapped, then you will prolly get zapped, and I am sorry that Abba is presented to us like this, so that we become frozen out of fear. Trust that your father loves you, and you will demonstrate life, more abundantly when you forget most of the dung presented to you in "church."
