When I was at ABI for the 1956/1957 year, Bro. Magee stopped by there and preached (at least once) at Bro. Norris' church. One of his sermons (the only one I remember) was on Blood, Water, and Spirit. I remember he once mentioned something about a "pre-incarnate form of Christ" and someone (a licensed UPC minister from Illinois) told me that they didn't like that term. I've read his book. I think I have a copy here somewhere but I'm not sure.
While I was at St. Paul, someone told me a story about Bro. Buie (don't know which one) who spoke to Bro. Magee about oneness. At that time Bro. Magee was a trinitarian. He told Bro. Buie, "You know, you really ought to write a book about that. You could call it 'Hooey by Buie.'" Then later Bro. Magee accepted the message and began to propagate it. At one time I used to receive a magazine from the group Bro. Magee was in. They were called The Churches of God of Ireland. What few magazines of his I used to have from back then in the late nineteen fifties are long gone.
I heard that Bro. Magee moved to the U.S. and married Bro. Kidson's daughter and ministered out of Houston, TX at one time. I don't know how accurate that was.
