From this I can discern that God will send His spirit to draw us into truth, but if we refuse to move, and it's truly false doctrine that we're embracing, God will not put His stamp of approval on it, and will withdraw His presence.
So, I can't say the analogy is solid in this case.

But even you left some loop holes in there, I dont think God moves as a "stamp of approval" as much as a "call of the lost".
I do agree that God will allow those not responding to fall as reprobates, but again, me and you know our children so we know when it becomes hopeless, God knows His children.
Again, I don't have all the answers, I just live in faith that God knows what He is doing.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
