Hello Joefizz!
The way that it came about with me is that, throughout the years of studying, everything that the Spirit gave me understanding of through all scripture and that I was sure of, I believed and proclaimed. Anything that I wasn't sure of, went into what I call my "spiritual cupboard," which is where it would stay until the Lord revealed the answer to me. Therefore, my beliefs and claims have remained the same. For example, there wasn't a time where I believed that the church would be gathered when the Lord returned to the earth to end the age and then later changed my mind and believed that the church would be gathered prior to the end of the age. I would not be firm on any biblical subject until I had a firm understanding of all the related scriptures.
