BY REV. B. CARRADINE, D.D., Author of “Sanctification,” “A journey to Palestine," etc. Third Edition, Enlarged. PRICE $1. THE CHRISTIAN WITNESS CO., CHICAGO—BOSTON. 1821 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1893, By L. L. Pickett, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. The author of this book, although a young man, wields one of the most familiar and welcome pens to our Methodism, hence needs no introduction. The types and symbols of the Old Testament evidently con- tain as deep a spiritual meaning as the parables of the New Testament, and the whole combine in the revelation of the great doctrines of Christianity. The perfect harmony existing be- tween these two books unites them into one Book. The great doctrine of the Book, the doctrine toward which all other doc- trines lead, and in which they all center, is the doctrine of ho- liness. That God wills, provides for, and demands our entire sanctification from all sin, no candid Bible reader will deny. Methodism teaches in her standards of doctrine that entire sanctification is wrought in the believer’s heart subsequent to justification; her founders preached, and her charter members professed, sanctification as a second work of grace. Those who will take the pains to seek will find it so recorded in the ser- mons, songs, and history of the early Methodists. Our author undertakes to show in this book that this doctrine, the second work of grace, is taught in the types and symbols of the Bible. Our prayer is that those wr ho read this book may have the faith that will make them able “to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath con- secrated for us.” H.

The Holy Waters ...... 2Q^ THE SECOND BLESSING IN SYMBOL. CHAPTER I. A FEW OPENING WORDS. L®HE question that is agitating the Church to-day * is whether there is a second and distinct work of God in the soul following that of regen- eration. It appears in papers, pulpits, camp meetings, Conference love feasts, and elsewhere. Wherever and whenever it is sprung there is seen agitation. It is beyond doubt the real question be- fore the Church to-day. There is none that can compare to it. If God has a second work or blessing for the soul, out of which Satan has cheated the Church, ought not men to know it? If, as the advocates of holiness say, this blessing touches the wealth and activities of the Church and transforms the membership into glowing, burning messengers of Christ, is it not an impor- tant, vital, all-essential question? With many on the opposing side the conviction is honest that the advocates of a second divine work are mistaken and deluded. Forgetful of (9) 10 The Second Blessing in Symbol . the fact that the Bible calls it “ the secret of the Lord/’ they expect to know all about it without using the means by which alone the secret can be obtained. It is a conditional blessing, and yet they look to understand what cannot be known except through the compliance with these condi- tions. Experience alone can bring understanding of sanctification as it does of regeneration. A person cannot know a road until he has gone along its length, and yet here are people who have not trod this way of holiness, nor made the effort that will alone place them in it, doubting and de- nying the fact that there is such a way. Many make merry over the term “ second blessing,’ ’ although it is both Wesleyan and scrip- tural. Such merriment only pains the heart of the advocate of holiness, as a laugh about conversion stabs the spirit of the regenerated man. In both cases the feeling is that the laugh or jest is ill- timed, misdirected, and ignorantly aimed at the work of the Holy One. In either case “ they know not what they do.” But the merriment is to be met as Christ received the gibes around the cross. If the blessing is true and scriptural and divine, it will sustain us, while it will also endure and survive every kind of rough treatment. If it is of man, it will come to naught; but if it is of A Few Opening Words . H God it will certainly triumph but alas ! for them ; who should be found fighting against God. The charge made upon us in high quarters is that we are deluded. This is certainly a grave and sweeping charge. It takes in a great many people. It arraigns hundreds of thousands through the land. The charge also takes in peo- ple of great celebrity: such a man as Fenelon, and such a woman as Madam Guyon; such men as Asbury, McKendree, Fletcher, Benson, Clarke, of early days, and such women as Phoebe Palmer, Frances Havergal, Frances Willard, and Hannah Whitehall Smith, of later times. The thoughtful mind is hardly prepared to be- lieve that such people, and so many people, living at wide intervals of time and distance from each other, and without possibility of or motive for col- lusion, could be possessed by so marvelous and general a delusion. Reason and common sense rebel against such a supposition. Now when in addition to this the experience of these people is found to coincide exactly with a teaching that runs through the Bible how is it possible for one to pronounce the whole matter a delusion? Who wonders that a Church which doubts and disputes through its journals, pulpits, and chief officers the fact of such a grace and blessing 12 The Second Blessing in Symbol . should fail to see it? It is the eye of faith, not doubt, that discerns what Paul calls the “ second grace,” and John Wesley termed the 46 second blessing.” Who wonders that men, gifted, learned, religious, and useful, should fail to enter into the holy of holies when they have neglected the laver at the door, and the second application of blood which Moses and Paul agree in saying was necessary as the condition of entrance? Who wonders that any man should fail in this holy ex- perience if he realizes a reservation somewhere in the life, knows there is a room in the heart where Christ is not allowed to enter, a closet where something is withheld or concealed, or is conscious of a wrong unrighted or a confession unmade? What if there be such things as pride, bitterness, ecclesiastical revenge, ambition for place, lust for oratorical honors, and the praise of men, and things even lower? What if a man’s heart should become influenced with the desire for the office of a bishop, and should speak, write, and attitudinize to that end? What if a man indulges in habits unclean and expensive, and exhorts the poor of his congregation to contribute their hard earnings to the support of the ministry and the gospel, and then proceeds in the full sight of the congregation and heaven to puff into smoke or expectorate in A Few Opening Words. 13 tobacco much of that self-denial and consecrated money upon the ground ? Does the reader think that a partially consecrat- ed man can know the mystery of the gospel, take in the tender secret of the Lord, and be fa- miliar with what is beyond the veil, although that veil be rent from top to bottom? The fact that it is rent does not disclose or expose the most holy place. A curtain rent from top to bottom is not pulled down; but the torn edges hang side by side together, and the things beyond are still con- cealed. Christ has not made holiness common to all, but possible to all.

Holiness Churches - Introduction • In historical perspective, the Pentecostal movement was the child of the Holiness movement, which in turn was a child of Methodism. • Methodism began in the 1700s on account of the teachings of John and Charles Wesley. One of their most distinguishing beliefs was a distinction they made between ordinary and sanctified Christians. • Sanctification was thought of as a second work of grace which perfected the Christian. Also, Methodists were generally more emotional and less formal in their worship. – We believe that God calls every believer to holiness that rises out of His character. We understand it to begin in the new birth, include a second work of grace that empowers, purifies and fills each person with the Holy Spirit, and continue in a lifelong pursuit. ―Core Values, Bible Methodist Connection of Churches • By the late 1800s most Methodists had become quite secularized and they no longer emphasized their distinctive doctrines. At this time, the "Holiness movement" began. • It attempted to return the church to its historic beliefs and practices. Theologian Charles Finney was one of the leaders in this movement. When it became evident that the reformers were not going to be able to change the church, they began to form various "holiness" sects. • These sects attempted to return to true Wesleyan doctrine. Among the most important of these sects were the Nazarene church and the Salvation Army.

  • Understanding Sanctification
    THEOLOGY & APPLICATION Understanding Sanctification anctification is the work of God within the believer by which we grow into the image of Jesus Christ and display the fruit of the Spirit. The imputed holiness of Christ becomes ours at the moment of our Sconversion. Now in our daily behavior, practical holiness is to be lived out. Models of Sanctification THE TEACHING OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION John Wesley (1703–91) believed in a state of Christian perfection — a state subsequent to salvation. This teaching of Christian perfection is based on a second blessing being the key to holiness. This second work of God was described as “perfection,” “second blessing,” “holiness,” “perfect love,” or “entire sanctification.” This view is that through a second experience, followers of Jesus enter an upgraded quality of Christian living. Through this second blessing, we sense God’s love more vividly and our own love for God. The heart is cleansed from sin so that sin ceases to control the believer’s behavior. Full and genuine holiness of life (so it is claimed) comes after this second experience, this second work of grace. This “perfection” happens in a single instant when the believer is raised to the higher level of perfection. But this state of perfection can be lost. The believer then falls away and may be eternally lost. THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL 117 Critique Christian perfection is not a biblical view of sanctification. This view confuses Christian maturity with Christian perfection. In sanctification, we grow in Christian maturity, but we never reach Christian perfection until that eternal day when we see Jesus Christ face to face.

Pentecostal/Charismatic Movements Page 1 Pentecostal Movement The first two hundred years (100-300 AD) The emphasis on the spiritual gifts was evident in the false movements of Gnosticism and in Montanism. The result of this false emphasis caused the Church to react critically against any who would seek to use the gifts. These groups emphasized the gift of prophecy, however, there is no documentation of any speaking in tongues. Montanus said that “after me there would be no more prophecy, but rather the end of the world” (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol II, p. 418). Since his prophecy was not fulfilled, it is obvious that he was a false prophet (Deut . 18:20-22). Because of his stress on new revelations delivered through the medium of unknown utterances or tongues, he said that he was the Comforter, the title of the Holy Spirit (Eusebius, V, XIV).

  • The Holiness Movement the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Part 1
    Community Bible Church Instructor: Bill Combs THE HOLINESS MOVEMENT THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY PART 1 I. INTRODUCTION A. Though the title of this series is “The Holiness Movement,” we actually will be taking a more comprehensive historical perspective. What is technically called the Holiness movement, as we will see, developed out of the Methodist Church in the middle of the 19th century (the 1800s) in American. It was an attempt to preserve the teachings on holiness of John Wesley (1703–1791), the founder of Methodism. Wesley came up with the new and unique idea of a second transforming work of grace that is distinct from and subsequent to the new birth. This second blessing of entire sanctification is just as powerful and transforming as the first transforming work of grace—the new birth or regeneration. The Methodist Church eventually forsook Wesley’s view of sanctification at the end of the 19th century, but the Holiness Movement continued to champion Wesley’s view. Part of this Holiness tradition led to what is called the Keswick (the “w” is silent) movement. It is the particular form of Holiness teaching found in the Keswick movement that is of most interest to us in our study the next few weeks. The Keswick movement began at the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century became the most common way of understanding the Bible’s teaching on holiness in fundamentalism and most churches in the broader evangelical tradition—Baptist churches, Bible churches, some Presbyterian churches (also many parachurch organizations, such as Campus Crusade for Christ).

  • The Holiness Movement
    HOLINESS MOVEMENT Kevin W. Mannoia (Dictionary of Christian Spirituality. Glen Scorgie, General Editor. Zondervan. 2011.) The holiness movement describes a spiritual current within the 19th and early 20th century church emphasizing the work of the Holy Spirit in the experience of sanctification as well as social engagement. Attaining heart purity and the filling of the Holy Spirit were prominent themes within the movement. Influence from a variety of sources includes the protestant reformation with its emphasis on individual faith, 17th century pietism, the Roman Catholic emphasis on community faith, and a unique Wesleyan interpretation of the Eastern Orthodox concept of theosis. The most direct influence resulted from the 18th century Methodist revival. John Wesley's publication of A Plain Account of Christian Perfection (1777) represents a standard reference point for the holiness movement. Terms such as entire sanctification, Christian perfection, holiness, and infilling of the Spirit became common in the movement as adherents sought a deeper, inner work of purification in living the holy life. The holiness movement became clearly defined within the broader church spectrum during the revivalism of the Second Great Awakening with its emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit and entire sanctification. It represented a strong ecumenical dimension in early years. Although largely driven by American Methodists many non- Methodists contributed to the holiness movement. Presbyterian William Boardman promoted holiness through his evangelistic campaigns and book The Higher Christian 1 Life (1858). Asa Mahan, of Oberlin College, and evangelist Charles Finney also promoted holiness as a result of their own personal experiences. Mahan testifies to a baptism of the Holy Spirit in which he was cleansed from the inclination to sin – a phrase reminiscent of Charles Wesley's "bent to sinning." An early reference point for the holiness movement is the Tuesday Meeting for the Promotion of Holiness begun in New York City by Sarah Lankford and her sister Phoebe Palmer in 1836.

  • Christian Perfection and Christian Mysticism: a Way to Resurrection?
    Christian Perfection and Christian Mysticism: A Way to Resurrection? Daniel Castelo, PhD Professor of Dogmatic and Constructive Theology Seattle Pacific University and Seminary Seattle, Washington (USA) [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper explores the Wesleyan understanding of holiness, entire sanctification, and Christian perfection, particularly as it is understood, perpetuated, and often assessed as “dead” among those stemming from the progeny of the 19th century Holiness Movement. The argument presented is that the changes that have transpired in this movement are not necessarily ones resulting from lacking fidelity as generations pass as they are symptoms and consequences of an unworkable paradigm, one that seeks to reify certain approaches and narrations of Christian experience that simply cannot be widely applied. The recommendation made is that the Wesleyan paradigm surrounding sanctification must be reoriented along mystical lines for its long-term vitality and appeal. Some time ago, Kenneth Collins offered his assessment as to why the Holiness Movement is “dead.”1 In doing so, Collins was joining a number of contemporary assessors of the 19th century movement who have lamented similar things. The Holiness Movement of the 19th century spawned a number of denominations, educational institutions, and so on; therefore, the movement is not gone or inconsequential. Collins recognizes the point. Collins also admits that movements have life cycles, and this reality would be no different for the Holiness Movement. Things necessarily change, and Collins knows this. These admissions notwithstanding, one senses some grief and pain in his reflections. The language of “death” certainly heightens the tension. 1 Kenneth J. Collins, “Why the Holiness Movement is Dead,” Asbury Theological Journal 54.2 (1999): 27-35.

  • Toward a Wesleyan Theology of Revival
    TOWARD A WESLEYAN THEOLOGY OF REVIVAL The Fourteenth Oxford Institute for Methodist Theological Studies Wesley Studies Group August 12-19, 2018, Pembroke College, Oxford “Give me one divine moment when God acts, and I say that moment is far superior to all the human efforts of man throughout the centuries”1 Dennis F. Kinlaw Revival depends on grace, and the fruit of revival is holiness. Revival depends on grace because dead people cannot bring themselves back to life. Even Jesus, the eternal Son, does not raise himself from the dead. It is the Spirit who gives him life. There is no true revival without resultant holiness. Trees that have been made alive again are always fruitful. And here is where Wesleyan theology best recommends itself as revival theology.”2 Beth Felker Jones Introduction One classical definition of theology is “faith seeking understanding.” Knowledge and experience of God, whether individual or corporate, seeks deeper consideration through reflection and study. Anselm writes that believers examine God’s revelation “not for the sake of attaining to faith by means of reason but that they may be gladdened by understanding and meditating on those things that they believe.” 3 Augustine teaches similarly; experience of God incites Christians to apprehend what they believe; what they can hope for; and what they ought to love.4 Part of theology’s work accordingly is to find language to express the Christian experience of God; to try to put into words who God is and what God has done, is doing, and will do, while acknowledging the inadequacy of any verbal or visual signs in the face of an incomprehensible reality.

  • Non-Wesleyan Pentecostalism: a Tradition “The Finished Work”
    [AJPS 14:2 (2011), pp. 187-198] NON-WESLEYAN PENTECOSTALISM: A TRADITION “THE FINISHED WORK” William W. Menzies Introduction In June, 1995, a remarkable outpouring of the Holy Spirit began at the Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, Florida. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have visited Pensacola. Many have come away with a renewed spiritual experience and a revitalized ministry. What is happening in Pensacola is evidently happening in many other localities as well. Some of the local outpourings are a direct result of contact with Pensacola; some are not. Significantly, a common thread in the testimonies of those impacted by the current flow of revival is that it is essentially a renewal of holiness, of concern for the sanctified life. Some would see in the Pensacola revival a call to Pentecostals to recover their holiness roots. Evidently, somewhere along the way, the Pentecostal movement (or at least part of it), generally pictured as a direct outgrowth of the nineteenth-century Holiness Movement, drifted away from the emphasis on sanctification. With this new focus of attention on personal holiness, it is timely that we attempt to reconstruct the story of the roots of the modern Pentecostal movement, giving particular attention to the streams of influence regarding the doctrine of sanctification. The practical implications of this for today’s Pentecostals may be significant. The Pentecostal revival has featured effectively the empowering of the Spirit for evangelistic and missionary service. Somehow, through the years an earlier priority on the interior development of a holy life has apparently been muted. Is God calling Pentecostals to take a fresh look at the importance of Holy living? The story is not as simple as it might appear, however.
