And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my...

The origins of the Pentecostal revival were Methodist. The Cripple Creek Camp meeting, the old and glorious Methodist Way, as told by George Clark Rankin and David Sullins.... The Life of David Sullins The Life of George Clark Rankin Here are some of the rules to govern the Cripple Creek Camp...

Some churches have even done away with the altar service. In my dad’s Lutheran church they have communion where everyone goes to the altar to receive after the sermon. What happened where people no longer feel the necessities of an altar?

My website at rockytopva is about to to roll over 2 million views. And we teach that the Word of God and the Dpirit of God as two important necessities. A combination of the Word and the Spirit is all one needs.

The Lord told the Sardiseans they were spiritually dead. A spiritually dead church is not the answer either.

psychiatric disorder... Religion is better experienced in the heart. The Apostle Paul would go on to say that knowledge makes for the ego, and just a little ego makes the whole lump bad. The Apostle Paul told the philosophers, “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him...

Which is why all my references are in the past tense. Let's say I end up winning the argument here and winning everyone to the Pentecostal Holiness church. The first thing I would hear would be, "where are all the revivals you have written about?" In which I would have to say they are all in the...

I found religion in similar methods as presented by Charles Stanley's old grandfather, George Washington Stanley, and it is dear to me. My old great Uncle was listening to Charles Stanley one Saturday night and accepted Christ as his savior after the broadcast, so Charles Stanley is dear to me...

My family from Floyd County, Virginia.... 1. Work on a job Mo-Fr 2. The entertainment was revival, farm work, or family 3. Town on Saturday dressed decently 4. We had prayer meeting in those days Saturday night 5. Very much 'Walton' like in their ways. Charles Stanley also came from the...

I had a book ministry at work in which some guy, after reading one of the testimonial books, wanted to get saved but not in my Pentecostal Holiness church. I had a friend I knew as Ray who was baptist, so I took him to a Calvinist Baptist church. Well, they had a Franklin Graham testimonial film...

The Pentecostal Holiness denomination has never endorsed this and I have never heard of it in the states of North Carolina or Virginia.

Back in the 1920's my church, The Merrimac Pentecostal Holiness church, was a persecuted church. They would throw rocks, break windows, and do everything to quiet us down. The persecution only saw the church to grow as people would go there to see what was going on and by 1938 it seemed like...

Being in the persecuted minority also brings forth much beauty. You can sense a miss of this type spirituality after the Roman empire turned to Christianity. "Therefore I say, He ordained that we should undergo death for the faith, which each man should do for the communion of the Church. For...

I am glad that one denomination does not rule the roost. Give one denomination dominance and bad motivations follow. Such as the spirit of Jezebel (control, persecution, domination), hatred, strife, ego, and every evil work. Which caused the Europeans at one time to declare, "In the name of God...

Having experienced the wonder Holy Spirit in my own life I have nothing to study and know this is not Voodoo. Though the Pentecostal revival has not been without her faults, these faults are normally a result of folks going out of the Spirit and into the flesh.And with the flesh we have the old...

I too felt at one time that Pentecostalism was of the devil. Pictured below is farmer I would work for in the hay field... Dallas would shout at work, shout in the hay field, and shout in church. He would also speak in tongues and run the aisles. He and his wife would operate a dairy farm and...

I believe we are living in the Laodicean church age in which the shoe of the passage fits the horse of the times.

As long as we are in the flesh we all have issues. The Apostle Paul found fault with the very Apostle Peter... 11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they...

I must say here that I am a Wesleyan Pentecostal. I believe that there are three steps required for the ultimate Chrsitian spiritual walk. 1. Salvation - Very easy! Believe on the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved. 2. Sanctification - The process between Salvation and the Baptism in the Holy...

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. - Matthew 12:24 The Pharisees were saying that the Lord Jesus Christ did his miracles by the devil, when of matter of fact he was doing miracles through the power of the...
