I have called it the “heart” ever since I was studied with in Milwaukee. What I experienced was different than I had experienced in any religious group before. It was, in fact, the difference between being a person who knew about God and had some association with him, and being a person who truly knows God through a true personal relationship with him.
The things our movement has gone through the last 2 years has caused me to search the Scriptures to better understand that which I have been calling “heart”.
