Lastly, I believe the usage of both these prophets was so that we can learn to discern better the Gospel from false teaching. The same style would eventually sound like a droning. If we tend towards one style I think it is harder to spot heresy within that style. If we are pre-disposed to liking the preacher with the kumbya feeling then I think it becomes easier to accept compromise when it is presented in that manner to us. Same for the opposite. God was completely aware that we would always have a tendency to follow man instead of God. There is still way too much pastor worship going on in the modern church today. It becomes then about personality instead of God. How does someone with over 10,000 people following him like Rob Bell fall off the theological cliff like he did? Pride would be my bet but I am more concerned about the 10,000 people he left behind and whether they would just follow him off the same cliff.
