Seems like a thin line that should be tread carefully. Slippery slopes and all that.

Agreed. There can be a thin line. You'll notice that the further you get along this narrow path... the more narrow it becomes. The more narrow it becomes... the more easily one can stray off the path. But progression shouldn't be feared. It should be embraced.
When I began to interpret tongues or employ the gift of knowledge, it was scary. My biggest fear was, "What if I'm wrong?" I learned to abandon that fear long ago. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I pray God correct me and bring me around. But I will not stand still refusing to experience the spiritual realities that are ready and waiting for the saints of God.
Sadly... that makes me rather controversial in most conventional churches today. LOL
