Hello again to anyone who remembers me from back in 2012. Hi @Episkopos I don't remember how we lost touch but good to see you here!
Hope there are still preachers of holiness around. This month, on the 23rd I will have been a believer for 50 years. The first 17 or so of which I was carnal, I mean, walking in the flesh and not knowing how to walk in the Spirit also holding to Calvinism, till I came across Oswald Chambers and began to discover Higher Life teaching.
I went on to read holiness preachers from the Holiness Movement and then on to reading Wesleyan theology. In the meantime I was blessed with the second blessing. It has been a roller coaster, but eventually I came to discover the early church fathers where I gained a much better understanding of entire sanctification or theosis as it was known to them.
I read a lot of church history especially concerning where Augustine moved away from the teachings of the early church and was instrumental of bringing in much error to the west. One of the things the early church writings helped me with was why I kept on losing the blessing and then it was clear why. I am in the Light now being only restored a couple of weeks ago and believe that the Lord has brought me back here so looking forward to discussions. Thank you.
