Pietism, Holiness and Pentecostalism « Churchmouse Campanologist

Pietism, Holiness and Pentecostalism « Churchmouse Campanologist:


My last post on pietism and the Wesleyan holiness movement briefly discussed the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church, created in 1895, now known as the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.

This entry will examine how the holiness movement viewed the term ‘pentecostal’, why today’s holiness churches consider themselves separate from Pentecostalism and how Pentecostalism later developed.

Members of the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church sometimes spoke in tongues — glossolalia, theologically speaking. However, at the end of the 19th century, no one held it to be evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.
