Narrative:

While taxiing toward the end of runway 19L on taxiway a, I requested and received takeoff clearance. As I was crossing the runway hold short line, I checked the final approach path and saw the traffic. Brought the aircraft to a stop short of the runway but across the hold short line. The traffic continued his touch-and-go landing as cleared. I then called the tower back and verified that I was cleared for takeoff. Reply: 'hold short.' I then stated I was stopped short of the runway but across the hold short line. Reply: 'taxi into position and hold.' I asked again if I had been cleared for takeoff previously. Reply: 'cancel takeoff clearance, taxi into position and hold.' so I did as instructed and continued with my flight profile. Upon my return I called tower to discuss the occurrence with them. They took my information and apologized, told me that the occurrence would be investigated as a controller error.
