Here is a book from a Wesleyan Methodist Pentecostal minister, published in 1900. I’m including it among our “Pioneer” collection, because the Methodist Pentecostals, unlike the more modern Pentecostals we are familiar with, emphasized Holiness, or Sanctification. They taught the cleansing away of the carnal mind, which is very similar to the gospel we believe in today.
The plan of the book was to take each of the main scriptures which were commonly used to deny the possibility of holy living, and then expound their true meaning, so that the harmony with the rest of the testimony of the Bible could be seen.
This topic is particularly useful today, when there seem to be almost endless excuses being taught in the modern churches,
against holy living, and against the possibility of living a life of victory over sin. The same arguments, based on the same misinterpretation of the same Bible texts, are still being promulgated today.
Therefore, I release this book again, as an arrow from the Lord’s quiver, to shoot into the heart of the lies and unbelief that stalk the land like Giant Despair, robbing the children of God of their rightful heritage as sons and daughters of the King of righteousness. 145p
