It's important to remember, while we're on this topic, that The Walk was supposed to be just that, while at the same time during JRS' tenure, the foundational teachings of Elijah/Elisha-Paul/Timothy were in full swing, infering directly that one was not able to really have a walk with God unless you were coupled to someone else who had 'more' of a walk with God than you did.
G&M didn't come up with this teaching on their own, they merely morphed it into a more stratified iteration that did untold damage across the fellowship, designating relationships that had more emphasis on brown-nosing than it did on spiritual maturity.
