From a recent on-line conference sponsored by the Center for African-American Church History & Research. Here is the link to the reserach institution: caachr.org
Godless you.. My twin and I are Ministers here in Li's Angeles and we are hosting An Azusa Street Revival in April. God has compelled us to go forward and not turn back in Jesus name. Please pray for us
I have a deep passion for the endtime revival that I strongly believe that the outpouring has already begun here in Uganda. I would like to attend the Azusa revival meeting in Los Angeles in April. Tell me what do I need to attend? Shalom. Ps Nekemeya Steven Mukisa. Uganda 🇺🇬. East Africa.
A great historical account about the Pentecostal beginning and the influence of Pastor Seymour. It’s interesting how southern white men were drawn to him and his teachings disregarding racist beliefs. Well done again Mr Singleton!
Pastor Seymour is one unique man God used mightily which caused the Pentecostal movement and affected billions. I do see many main stream channels tries to ignore or reduce his role but truth simply remains.
You hit upon something concerning Seymour, and the resentment of some white Christians who downplayed the role of the great move of God ushered in by God through brother Seymour. They wanted to tie it in with the movement in Wales with Evan Robert's, and others. But God is no respecter of persons, only men look on the outward appearance, but God looks upon the heart. John Lake met brother Seymour and remarked that he had never met a man so filled with God.
Charles parham is known as the father of pentecostallism in america, and when he started out he held to the true doctrine of speaking in tongues, that was lost for 1700 years when it ceased with the apostles, this tongue was not speaking in a language unknown to man (gibberish). He truely believed in the correct interpretation of tongues in the bible found in Acts and corinthians. He sent missionaries to china, india and other places, 18 missionaries to be exact, but unfortunately a review and study done when the 18 missionaries returned revealed that they indeed could NOT speak those foreign languages, that was spoken in acts and corinthians like the apostles preformed. Then charles reformed his thinking and created the gift of speaking in tongues as we know it today, gibberish. Charles knew this gibberish he falsely attributed to the Holy Ghost as the same tongues as spoken by the apostles, he wifully decieved many pentecostals into believing it was the gift of the spirit, and passed these teaching on to william seymour and other. Over 100 years later we still have these false teachers who know the true history, still teach and declare this false gift of the Holy Spirit. Please guys do your own research and dont follow and believe entirely in man.
That’s the problem. We’ve always given passes for racist mistreatment. I couldn’t care less what the law of the day was. Right is right and wrong is wrong. To make someone sit outside of a classroom is wrong bottom line.
While William Seymour has been eulogised by charismatics as a spiritual giant, in reality his teaching needs to be treated with serious caution. Seymour believed in “entire sanctification”, which teaches that two “works of grace” are required to save and cleanse the believer; first a believer must be born again through faith in Jesus Christ but then also needs to be sanctified and made perfect through baptism of the Holy Spirit. Being sanctified is a Biblical doctrine but NOT in the way Seymour believed. The Bible teaches that sanctification is progressive throughout the life of the believer, whereas Seymour taught it was fully achieved and completed in the believer through being baptised in the Holy Spirit (Smith Wigglesworth would teach something similar to Seymour when he arrived on the Pentecostal scene sometime later). The Greek word translated “sanctification” (hagiasmos) means “holiness”. To sanctify therefore simply means “to make holy” or “to set apart”. Sanctification is to be set apart for God; Jesus said a lot about being sanctified in John 17. Sanctification is a progressive work as a result of the believer being obedient to God’s Word throughout their lifetime. It’s precisely what Peter is referring to in 2 Peter 3:18: … but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Sanctification is a word that describes the Christian growing in their spiritual maturity; God began the work of making us “holy” (set apart) and being Christ-like at the point of salvation but He progressively continues to sanctify the believer: … he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). Sanctification is to be pursued by the believer earnestly (1 Peter 1:15; Hebrews 12:14) and is effected by the application of the Word of God in their lives (John 17:17). It will only be complete when their life on earth is finished and their salvation is complete and they are finally glorified. Seymour (and those Pentecostals who followed him like Smith Wigglesworth) failed to distinguish between what we can expect God to fulfil in this life and what He will fulfil in the resurrection life which is to come. It’s what’s called having an over-realised eschatology; claiming in this life what will only be attained in the next life.
And he was right. Ask yourself what can you possibly know about God at your level that a giant like him didn't know? Because if you knew and had God, you would have been able to do the things men of God do. So we have to be careful when we oppose men of God and their revelation. They have a source they tap from where as you are still looking for that source. Going back to your submission, you are wrong about him. When we confess and accept salvation we start on a journey to be baptised by fire and that's what brings the holy spirit. With the holy spirit it simply means we are now deemed righteous before God and he has entrusted us with his power and authority. Look at it this way, when Jesus called the disciples, when they accepted is when they accepted salvation but baptism of the holy spirit happened 3 years later.
@@edgak2 I’ll address first the arrogant and juvenile way in which you have attacked something you know nothing of: my personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Please be adult enough not to do that again. To make claims like, “if you knew and had God” and “you are still looking for that source” is staggeringly ignorant and unedifying. You should be ashamed of yourself. You also said, “Ask yourself what can you possibly know about God at your level that a giant like him didn't know?” These statements tell me much about where you’re coming from. In answer to your question: I know my Bible sufficiently to know where Seymour erred. Do you? Based on the muddled statements you made about the Holy Spirit, I seriously wonder. My response to your muddled claims is simple: show me from Scripture what you’re claiming is true. Where in Scripture does it say, “When we confess and accept salvation we start on a journey to be baptised by fire and that's what brings the holy spirit”? I look forward to reading your reply.
@@MisterN0b0dy I might have appeared arrogant but let's dwell on the truth. The Bible is not a measure of knowing God. If it was Catholics, protestants, Adventist and others wouldnt be having divergent views about God when they all subscribe to the Bible. That's why I said you don't know God because knowing the Bible doesn't mean you do. God is in a secret place and we get there by seeking him because he speaks and then he will teach you the Bible by revelation. The men you are opposing found God in that secret place and they got to know him that's why they displayed power and miracles. So are you going to keep on opposing such men who actually saw God just because you can read a Bible? Go back on the drawing board. Don't waste time and seek that wisdom.
They could not receive the Holy Ghost until Jesus went back to heaven. He said, if I don’t go (to heaven) the comforter won’t come. Then He said, but go wait for the promise of the Father. Its all in the bible you just have to read it. Paul asked, have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? If you don’t follow Jesus then i understand why you haven’t believed, received and went away obeying!!!!!!!!!! God used Peter, a man who denied Christ 3 times. Seymour was a man who wasn’t perfect but was used by God. History proves it.
@@richieatkinson2627 All that history proves is too many biblically illiterate people professing to be Christians followed his false teaching, practiced his false practices and had counterfeit spiritual experiences.
