I have read my bible through seven times from cover to cover. I have also read many historical books from the Virginia Tech library. One of the most interesting figures I have read about was in the person of William Seymour, the architect of the Pentecostal revival. William Seymour designs this doctrine, makes himself Bishop of this movement, and the Holy Spirit falls...
"They shouted three days and three nights. It was Easter season. The people came from everywhere. By the next morning there was no way of getting near the house. As people came in they would fall under God's power; and the whole city was stirred. They shouted until the foundation of the house gave way, but no one was hurt."
The Holy Spirit reportedly fell in 1906 at Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles, CA. Smith Wigglesworth testified of receiving it in 1907. This is a revival that spread very fast around the world!
One of the problems is that nobody recognized William Seymour as 'Bishop' and to complicate matters was a split over the issues of sanctification. William Seymour never did go any further after the Azusa Street revival. The Pentecostal revival quickly encompassed the world... But without William Seymour!
One of the most interesting outcomes that I have read on the man is that he designed his doctrine in metaphor to King Solomons temple. As this doctrine died with William Seymour this is not something I teach, and I know of no one who teaches this, but present this as 'cold pizza' from an earlier time and something that you may find interesting. I also am interested in your responses as you guys are heavy in what we call the old testament.
1. The Outer Court - Justification - Faith to enter in.
2. The Altar - Salvation through the cross at Calvary.
3. The Laver - The clean effects of sanctification.
4. Table of Showbread – Daily into the word of God
5. Light at the Lightstand - Faith, hope, charity, joy, grace, love, warmth, etc. With sanctification came a sweet spirit!
6. The Golden Incense Alter - Prayer and Praise meetings.
7. The Holy of Holies - The Shekinah Glory and Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
