  1. HOLINESS ROOTS

  2. Methodist Holiness Movement John Wesley - “An Anglican priest who experienced his evangelical conversion in a meeting at Aldersgate Street (London) in 1738 where, as he said, ‘my heart was strangely warmed.’ This he called his ‘new birth.’” -Synan, 2

  3. Catholic Apostolic Movement Edward Irvingbecame pastor at the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) church at Regent Square, London England. “Irving and his friends suggested the possibility of a restoration of the gifts of the Spirit in the modern church. He led the first attempt at ‘charismatic renewal’ in his Regents Square Presbyterian Church in 1831. He later formed the Catholic Apostolic Church.

  4. British Keswick Movement (1875) The Keswick movementbegan in 1875 and was named after the town in the Lake District in England that became its main center. Each July, conventions would be held with the same central message of sanctification by faith. Although it claimed to be without a tradition, it is evident that the Keswick movement found its roots in the Wesleyan holiness stream. The difference lay in the fact that its founders sought to make the teaching palatable to Calvinists as well as Arminians. KEY FIGURES IN KESWICK MOVEMENT Hannah Whitall Smith William E.

  5. HOLINESS ROOTS Methodist Holiness Movement Catholic Apostolic Movement British Keswick Movement (1875) “Entire sanctification or “perfect love” was the “second blessing” or “baptism with Spirit.” Irving taught his parishioners to seek the Holy Spirit, and that if they did, the Spirit would become manifest in them, and the signs and miraculous gifts, such as speaking in tongues and prophecy, would be restored to the Church through them. The baptism with the Spirit was an enduement with power for service

  7. What happened at Pentecost? • Filled with the Spirit – Acts 1:8 • Empowered for Service/Witness • Not about Holiness What does it mean to be Pentecostal?

  8. Luke stresses growth of the Kingdom – Geographically and numerically. “And the Word of the Lord grew…” • Luke assumes that people are growing in Christ, but that is not his focus. • Reality check – You can’t write everything in one letter • Ask - To whom was he writing? What was agenda/purpose?

  9. Paul – Matters of the ‘interior’ domain • Key word – BEING • Lifestyle is important as doing. • Quality of Christian life. • Eph 5:18 – “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.” • Paul’s emphasis is Fruit – Gal. 5:22-3 – Love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. What does it mean to be Pentecostal?

  10. What is a Pentecostal? • “A witness of the modern world that the power of Pentecost is available for our age. • Most would add “tongues.” • BHS is an empowerment for service (Ac1:8) • Normative Biblical pattern (Ac 2:4)

  11. What is a Pentecostal? • Two Unique Elements of Pentecostal Theology/Doctrine • The experience of Spirit separate from regeneration • The accompanying Biblical sign of tongues • Dennis Bennet (Episcopalian) – “Do you have to speak in tongues? No, but you will.” • Glossolalia – three values • Evidential value – Pentecostal: personal • Prayer aid – Charismatic:personal • Gift of the Spirit – Prophetic: public
