My view of the episode was a bit different. I saw the Lord giving me grace among these brethren as something of a first step in my progression toward forgiveness. I knew that if I was to have any success at all with what the Lord had directed, if I was to be able to forgive the old main line churches, I had to first forgive these Pentecostal brethren, and bring them to a point of understanding one another.
