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
