During the Ministerial Conference in May 1974, Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA) applied Paul’s statement from Galatians 1:11-12 to himself- “The gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” Then Herbert added: “I say the same thing, brethren!” Not wanting to be outdone by Paul, Herbert claimed that he too learned “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” He went on to say, “I was not converted as the result of the teaching or preaching of any man.”
