Annanias called The Apostle Paul "brother" before he was baptized or filled with the Holy Ghost. I'd like to see that explained away. I'll begin the sentence.
Yeah but...

We can insert Cornelius here rather comfortably. Peter said "God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Cornelius was accepted by God before he had been baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. Dearing himself may be a better example of a Cornelius than Dearing's departed family members. However we can see the "light doctrine" at work here.
