Sister, did you come to these understandings by studying out the scriptures or did you study the scriptures with the help of books that were written by Trinitarians, and Ex-One God people?

No, studying these issues with the help of books isn't always helpful. I tried similar to that way back when I looked into the women's hair teachings. I found that to be frustrating as I'd read UPC lit and would feel they made points and then read other lit and they made points. It wasn't until I pushed that all away and studied the Bible itself (with the help of a concordance and Vine's) that I came to the conclusion that the Bible did not teach what the UPC taught on that issue. And I didn't go into it with trying to prove it wrong, either- I wanted to know the truth of the matter. It was the same with the other issues.
So as to tongues and water baptism, no, I did not use these type books in coming to my conclusions.
