It was a specific and distinct occurance and added to the three Acts 2:38 steps - sort of like some others added "sanctification" in the past.
The accompanying teaching was that God opens the understanding and the revelation could not be received through study and intellect alone.
Do you remember this teaching?
Is it still taught some places? |
I haven't read what others have written yet, but I definately remember this and am surprised you even asked. I thought this was one of the backbones of the AP experience and/or conversion. It was taught regularly where I came from. Of course we were in the middle of the Bible belt, where the distinction may have been more of a necessity.
