That contentious doctrine.

Books boeken melvyn jones salvation book juni 2015 epub zonder kopieerbeveiliging: In his Foreword to this book Dr John Coutts writes. The author considers in detail the links between first-generation Salvationists and the Higher Life movement which flourished in Great Britain in the 19th century as well the Armys relationship with Pentecostalism in the twentieth.

Many questions some contentious were asked and variously answered. Does a Christians commitment to holy living offer or even require a second blessing after conversion.

Or is the path of perfection both a crisis and a process. What is the relationship between the experience of entire sanctification and signs following such as the ability to speak in tongues.

Believers are promised power . .

. when the Holy Spirit has come on you but how is that divine power to be understood in personal living.

Here Melvyn Jones distinguishes between two New Testament concepts. dunamis and exousia.

Both words mean power but the first denotes power as personal spiritual energy while the second refers to power exercised though communal authority. Both insights he believes are essential to provide balance in the life of the church and the individual.

He sustains his argument through a thoughtful and wide-ranging survey the detailed notes at the end of each chapter provide a mine of information about interesting men and women who are little known today. In a Postscript Melvyn Jones asks how the call to holiness is to be understood by the present generation and notably in the secularised west the former Christendom where traditional nominal Christianity has largely expired.

Should todays Salvationists seek strength in the authority exousia of familiar structures or look to rely on spiritual energy dunamis leading towards new and perhaps dangerous forms of Christian living and Christian service. And here the author comes to a halt leaving his enlightened readers to think pray and act for themselves trusting in their Lords promise.

When the Spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all the truth. .
