The Welsh Revival started with multitudes being convicted of sin and turning to Christ. It transformed whole communities. The miners had to retrain their pit ponies because they were used to swearing and cursing as part of the commands, and so when the miners turned to Christ, their swearing...

I don't wish to share any Scriptures. What Scriptures would you like to share?

Here are three topics that don't appear in the New Testament: prosperity as an indicator of spiritual health; guaranteed healing as the result of prayer; and progressive revelation beyond the closed canon of Scripture.

It seems that you are pretty well prejudiced against the Pentecostal movement, flavouring your interpretation of the history. The fact is that "Pentecostal" describes many different Christian groups right around the world who believe in the continuation of the spiritual gifts, including the...

What! Are you expecting me to do your Bible study research for you? You already have your preconceived answers concerning the Pentecostal movement, so I wouldn't waste my time and effort giving you material that you would shoot down anyway.

Those two certainly don't represent the hard core of the Pentecostal movement in the same way that the Kardasians don't represent ordinary American familes.

My attitude is that if it has not be clearly written in the New Testament then Jesus never said it at any time.

Oh! I see. I am familiar with it. I believe that when it first started the emphasis was on the preaching of the Gospel through Stephen Hill, and many got saved. But as with many revivals, things got out of hand and things degenerated from there. I don't think that the two good Pentecostal...

It all depends on the quality of the leadership. When I joined the AOG in 1966, many Pentecostal church leaderships had no theological training. In fact, they were anti-academic, because they believed that theology was "the dead letter:, which is actually a misquote of the phrase. Paul...

Parham didn't initiate the speaking with tongues. It happened with a woman in his congregation, and then it spread through the whole group. It was just as new to him as it was with everyone else. He wasn't sure about it at first, but had to accept what was happening as a sovereign move of...

I'm a bit puzzled about "TB". What is that? I've never heard of it.

The rest of what Christ has to say to the church is found in Paul's letters.

There are no eyewitnesses alive any longer to refute the many criticisms of the foundations of the Pentecostal movement. The movement has been changed so much, and corrupted in so many ways with "new revelation", prosperity and guaranteed healing doctrines, and man-made theology, that what it...

It's all very well to make accusations about a Pentecostal ministry 100 years afterward when he is not around to defend himself. Any accusation made without a subject of it being able to make a reasonable defence, is automatically invalid, and turns into slander and libel.

Call that a sense of humour? Here's a sense of humour: "The unsuccessful Scottish hunter went out into the fog and mist".

I don't think my post will disappoint you. :-)

It's like watching a British comedy movie where the department manager is all into power and control, but when he gets home he is a hen pecked husband! Nine times out of ten a husband who says "Yes dear" all the time to a domineering wife, comes on a forum like this and throws his weight...

I deliberately changed the last phrase. The original reading was, "You and I are the only ones who truly know what's going on around here, but I'm not so sure about you!" For our fine feathered "brother" (I actually have two brothers and he ain't one of them!), I turned the statement around to...

You gave me a red cross on my previous post. You should have laughed at it because it was a joke. I was winding our knowledgeable brother up.
