What do you think?
The folks were saved and then around 1900-1906 they got baptized in the Spirit and thought, "Oh my, I guess I wasn't saved before but I am now that I've been baptized in the Spirit." Then in 1910-1914 they got baptized in water in Jesus' name and thought, "Oh my, I thought I was saved before but I really wasn't until I was baptized in the Spirit --then I thought I was saved because I got baptized in the Spirit --but I guess I really wasn't saved until now because nowI got baptized in Jesus' name." Was salvation like the carrot before the donkey that kept getting moved out as they moved ahead?
