So, taking that premise that "exhortations and guidance... are not necessarily infallible utterances", then theoretically, there is the real possibility that such "exhortations [an address or communication emphatically urging someone to do something] and/or guidance [advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority] could be incorrect, wrong, false, untrue, etc. which surely fits the definition of "fallible". And that being the case, then not only would an individual or group of individuals be susceptible to the consequences of following incorrect, wrong, false, untrue, etc. information, but there would be a incontrovertible truth that such incorrect, wrong, false untrue, etc., "exhortations and guidance" originated from "another spirit" other than God. The prophets of the Bible NEVER spoke nor wrote anything that was incorrect, wrong, false, untrue, etc., i.e., fallible which was given to them directly from God... for that would be impossible, for no such nonsense CAN nor ever will come from God. nope
