Time for my follow-up question. Discussion only, not a poll.
So, if Spirit-filled believers (according to some voters, at least) may hear audible voices from God Himself or from other sources (mental illness, e.g., was one popular response), can the hearer of an audible voice tell whether it came from God or not?

Mental illness got more votes than the HS, even if you discounted my vote!

First of all, someone that is "hearing voices" due to a mental illness, is not just hearing a voice once in a great while, but often. And they probably exhibit other symptoms like paranoia and other delusions.
If God spoke to someone in an audible voice, or an angel, it would not contradict the word of God. It would probably also confirm some other "sign" that person had already had like another person telling them the same thing etc

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Not everyone voted for every option. I'm not even sure what your point is, here.
A lot of them did. In other words you can't really say "well option X has the most so...." when at least 2 persons that voted for option X voted for ever other option too. Those 2 persons thing the other options are just as valid
