Carter says Neville asserted in virtually every lecture that he was not theorizing but had experienced scripture from beginning to end, and that his hearers would have the same experience. [Date evidence: recurring across Neville's lectures; no specific occasion]
Verbatim (witness's words)
I don't think a lecture went by that he didn't say that I am not theorizing, I am not speculating. I have experienced scripture from the beginning to the end, and it's all true, and you're going to have the same experience.
Neville (as quoted): "I am not theorizing, I am not speculating. I have experienced scripture from the beginning to the end, and it's all true, and you're going to have the same experience."
