Smith Wigglesworth: what should Christians learn from him — and question?

[BreadOfHeaven]

Smith Wigglesworth is still one of the most debated figures in revival history.
Some see bold faith and prayer in his life.
Others see excess and controversy.
What do you think Christians today should learn from him, and what should be approached with caution?

Cessationists debate him.
Those with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, appreciate Him, as a pioneer of what God can do, through abandonment and faith.
He believed God at His word, and acted on it

Not much.

The power left God?
We don't lay hands on anyone for healing?
The book of James is no longer valid?
