Seems like a futile endeavor to find the litmus test for spirituality. If we know we have arrived spiritually, we haven't. Too many people make the journey about others in the church, the church's collective persona, etc. If I make it about my own path, then the spirituality of others is irrelevant. One wise person said, "save yourself and thousands around you will be saved." There's great peace in this.

I agree with this 100%.

Same goes for humbleness. I f we think we're humble, we're not.

True!

It also takes one more spiritually mature, especially when in authority, to regonize that it is abusive to expect things of someone that which is not in their capability, or resources to achieve.
