He also made several comments about not questioning your pastor, he is the one watching for your soul... that gave me cold chills, I KNOW there is no scripture for that one!

Yes, you can look back on this type chaos and see many of those that responded out of that fear were hardened to the urging of the Spirit. So the short term gain is a long term (very damaging) lose.
