    Exhortation

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not flesh or human ego. When we had a plating department in our facility I worked under a chemist. This chemist was very smart and very good at math. When he laid out equations he did so in very neat handwriting and there would be much activity as he turned...

    I am working on a video on Exhortation. I have a document that contains the rules to govern the Cripple Creek camp meeting on 09/12/1823. On the ninth rule it is stated, “No persons or persons are to occupy the stand except the preachers and the exhorters.” The Methodist in those days had a...

    The Cripple Creek Camp Meeting

    I am a Youtuber with nearly 1.5 million views (rockytopva). I am currently working on a video on exhortation, which was best with the Civil War and World War II generations. To exhort is to bring faith and light alive, I must be careful to keep the content that way.

    The Cripple Creek Camp Meeting

    Even if one were to reform the old Methodist or Pentecostal Holiness church I just described he would be hard put to find good evangelists and exhorters to help such a movement along. It looks like as the Methodist revival was lost with the departure of the Civil War area generation so our...

    The Cripple Creek Camp Meeting

    Just attended a funeral of the last of the departed saints this past week. He was the last of the old World War II generation and I will miss him dearly.

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    I may have rewritten the video. I know too many Pentecostals (I am Pentecostal) who claim to speak in tongues but when you look inside the character you find disturbing things. I try to emphasize a truly spiritual experience, which I believe if you get it in the good way, it is!

    After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep on trying, and so dropped off to sleep. The...
