Going back to Sue and her roommates, they're all immature believers--and they may not be saved at all.  For all the obvious reasons Sue does not have the gift of discernment.

"Bible study will only give enjoyment if conforming to our Creator in belief and behavior, through trust and obedience, is its goal. Bible study for our own pleasure rather than for God ends up giving pleasure neither to Him nor to us...what brings joy is finding God's way, God's grace and God's fellowship through the Bible, even though again and again what the Bible says--that is, what God in the Bible tells us--knocks us flat." - J .I. Packer
