God's blessing is not a sign of approval, nor is an answered prayer.

One may think the Spirit is with them or even IN them and be dreadfully mistaken.

Personally speaking....

I don't believe that the scriptures would intentionally mislead us. All I know is what the scripture teaches us.

Whether one believes a thing or not believe a thing does not alter the scriptures in the least.

Also, personally speaking...

I have had the Holy Ghost for many years. In those many years, I have sinned. Yet, I can testify that the Holy Ghost was not taken from me. Thankfully, He prodded me to repentance. I am happy that the grace of God granted me that repentance.
