Re: Revising Pentecostal history: 1908-1912
From this several things are demonstrated.
First, that prior to 1913 there were Pentecostals teaching and preaching the basics of Oneness and the new birth (at least as far as Spirit baptism were concerned) and the use of the "Jesus name" baptismal formula.
Second, it had been going on for four years at least when this edition of Durham's newsletter came out, thus at least from 1907/8. In fact, Durham's wording implies it had been going on since the Pentecostal revival's beginning , or at least shortly right after the Azusa Street meetings began to become famous.
Third, the idea that the new birth of water and Spirit was a late-comer among Pentecostals is patently FALSE.
Thoughts?
