That certainly is effective, but if the written word is misinterpreted, then it is not trying those spirits, it is just another error filled wrong doctrine.
The word of God gets built up in us as we apply it, gain the victory and stand on that word made real to is, it's not the written word it's the spirit of truth. People blunder the written word all the time, and we learn from that experience as well.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Experience is what makes us love God, we Experience the Spirit of the word given to us. The more we Experience, the surer we become and we start to understand hope, hope is all the good things God has taught us as our expectation. We expect the goodness of God through much Experience.
You label the word of God as error filled doctrine because you haven't searched it seeking of the truth. The word of God tells you that the apostles received it in Syria. The word of God tells you to come out of Egypt. You're taking Bibles that came out of Egypt and calling them the word of God because you haven't sought after wisdom, the wisdom of the written word.
I know the written word Andy, the Spirit teaches me how to apply it. I fail sometimes, and my prayer is that Spirit teach me through my failures, so I can, "go and sin no more"
We learn God’s word through Spirit, and union with God. The written word can be veiled because Spirit has not yet opened it up to us, I trust only what Christ teaces me.
So how does someone else, besides you, receive the Spirit, other than hearing the words and believing them?
How does one get born again? I can't say when or how it happened to me, it was the Spirits doing, God drew me, reproved me, corrected me, and started teaching me, I imagine that's how it will go for others.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. That can be the written word, but mostly it's the word built up in a minister who brings a person to saving faith.
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Prophets aren't hired, they're not a particular denomination, licensed they're God’s gift to the church, the can pop up anywhere, anytime, and their words can be missed anywhere, anytime by those who have not been prepared by God. God gives the birth, God does the raising, God doe not require a minister, but prefers to use them, flesh and blood, just as he did with the firstborn Son of God.
