Maria Woodworth Etter

[Sister Alvear]

Anyone ever read her life story?

I have several times.... she called the Jesus Name Movement "the greatest tool of Satan ever to come forth" this were her comments about the "New Issue"

My brother in law gave me a book about her but it is over 1000 pages long...

She wouldn't let William Seymour sit on her platform.. she despised our movement

A revival broke out in Dallas in 1912, led by healing evangelist Maria Woodworth-Etter, which drew people from around the country. She exhorted people to center themselves in Christ instead of fighting over theories. The revival also included prophecies of Christ's soon return. A similar meeting, less successful, was held in Arroyo Seco, California, in April and May of 1913; Woodworth-Etter noted her calls for unity seemed to be unheeded, and William Seymour attended but was not allowed to sit on the platform with the other ministers. (p. 120-121)

Could this be because he was black?

William Seymore never accepted the "new Issue". I believe it was Durham that he came back and looked the doors of the church on.

One thing I read was that the first known sermon preached on the "new issue" by R E McAlister was at a meeting that was sponsored by Maria Woodworth Etter.

[StMark]

I've heard a lot of people say she was a mighty woman of God.
I've not read her books and don't know the whole history.

Of course, history is often skewed and told from those who
want to spin it in the way they see fit too

[Michael The Disciple]

Frank Ewart mentions a Pentecostal Preacher lady in pg 113 of his great book Phenomenon Of Pentecost. He says she was well known and fought very hard against Oneness.

This lady was struck by Cancer. She said she heard the Lord tell her to ask Ewart to baptize her in Jesus name and she would be healed. She was baptized and according to Ewart was healed.

Could this have been her?

I know that she believed that One GOD Jesus name teaching was the spawn of hell.
