These are confounding things. Sometimes it's not the Spirit but attention. Paul did say we can confirm these things within the community. Men full of the spirit and other prophets can judge them. Accountability is key.

Well, at least you have a fool-proof way of determining whether a prophet is false or real. I guess that's the most important gift?
