Herbert Armstrong's Protestant Baptism and Receiving of the Holy Spirit

I was dumbfounded to discover that in boyhood Sunday School

days, I had been taught in many basic doctrines, the precise

opposite of what the Bible plainly teaches. I was astonished to

find that, taken to mean what it plainly says, THE BIBLE MAKES

SENSE! It became the most interesting study of my life. I saw

that I had to surrender my will to GOD. I did. I accepted CHRIST.

I was baptized in a Baptist Church, though I did not join it. My

understanding was opened by receiving God's Holy Spirit -- just as

God promises all minds may be. Now I could begin to UNDERSTAND the

Bible. It was a thrilling experience.

• Herbert Armstrong was baptized in a Baptist Church.
• Herbert Armstrong received God's Holy Spirit from a Baptism in a Worldly Protestant Church.
• If Herbert Armstrong received God's Holy Spirit from a Baptism in a Worldly Protestant Church, then the Protestant Churches are NOT Satan's Churches - making all of Herbert Armstrong's claims and the backbone of his theology invalid.
• If Herbert Armstrong WAS correct that the Protestant Churches and the Catholic Church and all the rest are SATAN'S CHURCHES, then the Baptism he received from these worldly Churches was not God's spirit, but an EVIL SPIRIT.
