Second, a changed life is not a biblical test for truth. Nowhere does the Bible argue that a changed life means that Christianity is true. The Bible gives another test for truth. If it lines up with the rightly divided Word of God, then the movement is true. If the movement fails to adhere to the Word of God, then the movement is false.
Discipleship is a process that can fail miserably.
Christians can get into a church that does not rightly divide the Word, and thus, they do not grow. This is analogous to an unfed infant that does not grow if you do not feed him properly. Lack of proper food, in one's physical or spiritual life, means no growth. Many that have been to Brownsville and reported being changed forever by the manifestations have ended up in psychological despair and deep depression. Some claim that the depression is due to the fact that when the manifestations ceased in their lives, they thought that God had forsaken them.
