Hi Darren,
Well I kind of know what you are talking about. I was in WWCG for many years I thought at the time that what they taught was true, but I was deceived like we all were (Titus 3:3). Now back then I never felt it in my spirit, that it was true, but I thought it in my mind. Now I know there is a big difference in just thinking you know something and for the Holy Spirit to witness to your spirit.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
v. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
v. 16
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
You are pretty new in the Truth, so give yourself a little time for all this to sink in. Before I could never understand the Scriptures on my own and being blind I couldn't, so I let man tell me what it meant. Now what I have gained from Ray is an understanding of how to rightly use the Scriptures, one good source for this is 'Twelve Truths to Understanding His Word'
http://bible-truths.com/twelve.htm Ray is really great at exposing the heresies that have deceived us all and that is the start, to purge out those falsehoods we hold. But now I have this strong conformation in my spirit when I see a profound Truth.
So pray for faith and that He will give you assurance and just keep reading and studying
Eph 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
v. 14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
v. 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,
v. 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
mercy, peace and love
