I can see though why you argue differently than Berg, simply because the outcome of Berg's teachings were sooooo bad, that they should have finetune/corrected long before the very worst happened...but often I think they/we reasoned...the prophet can't be wrong...the "victims" (quotationmarks in the view of TF) were wrong...no, the victims were real victims and Berg was wrong...very simple
Same happens in many charismatic movements : prayer for the sick...the sick is still sick...problem is with the sick...the "faithhealer" is just still a tool for God...mistake lays with the "victim"
Problem/solution is, you don't have to always "experiment"/practice...to find out, if a teaching is not the right one...TF's teaching could have been found wrong in the first place by really good Bible-workers-readers...experts....whatever label
