It was the same with me. It change was not instantaneous but I promise you I still remember being encountered with Romans the first time in my life. It was that moment that broke down everything in my life. Now, it took me seven or eight years before I finally broke away from the doctrine. I loved the movement and everything I knew was in that apostolic movement so it was very hard to leave. I tried to reconcile it first.

Gillespie doesn't claim that it was overnight that he changed. His testimony talks about how hard it was to change his beliefs.

I meant to point that out earlier. Haven't read his testimony in years but that much I recall.

This makes me feel a bit better. I dont agree with the guy. Not in the least. But at least I can respect a person who gives some thought and time and agony over such decisions.

I have zero respect for those who are blown by every wind of doctrine. Those that spend time thinking about things. doing real study etc, even if I think they have walked into heresy, I can respect thier process.
