Does your church have discernment?

I've considered actually doing something like this. I'd announce here on AFF that I will show up at one of your churches with $100 in my pocket, which I would gladly hand over to the person who identified me as a fake, when I went to the altar and before I left it. You'd have to tap me on the shoulder and say "You are fake. Get out of this church and never come back." If and only if you said those words I would keep up the act as I walk out the building, with escort, and then and only then hand over the hundred bucks.

That would be easy for someone with discernment. If I could affort it, I'd make it even more interesting, with $1000 or more! But the real danger, of course, is that you falsely identify someone else as me. That poor guy would probably be devastated. Might even fall into despair. And that is why I will never pull this prank.

Other pranks, maybe. But not this one.

I would never do this, because I would be afraid of being struck dead by God Himself.
