Sister Rachel,

You bring up a very interesting point.  Actually, for me, I understood the
Oneness on an intellectual level before receiving the 'revelation.'  I was
12 when I received the Holy Ghost.  I waited a bit before being baptised in
Jesus' name because I wasn't certain why I needed to be.  Finally, I saw the
Scripture for it, and I understood God's true identity.

But, I was about 15 when I received the revelation of the Mighty God in
Christ.  I was in the middle of reading 'The Oneness of God' by Bro.
Bernarnd, when I just felt a certain spiritual understanding.  It's like
knowing a geometric theorem, and then later realising the proof of it.  I
knew, but finally I FELT it.  There's a difference.

All Honour to Christ Jesus.

Bro. Matthew
