“It's to be understood thus: the Word comes first, and with the Word the Spirit breathes upon my heart so that I believe. Then I feel that I have become a different person and I recognize that the Holy Spirit is there. Accordingly these are two different things: to have the Holy Spirit and to know you have him.” Martin Luther, Tabletalk, Deitrich #402, December 1532,LW, AE, 54:63
