Arose out of Anglican Church initially
Groups of men committed to a holy, disciplined lifestyle.
Travelling Preachers “Methodists”
Arminian in Theology
One exception – George Whitefield “Calvinistic Methodist Church”

4. North American Evangelicals
Early Settlers brought their faith with them, so we see many familiar denominations: -Catholic -Presbyterian -Lutheran -Congregational -Reformed -Baptist -Anglican -Methodist

5. Holiness Movement Late 18th & 19th Century

6. In the 1800s, we see the growth of many churches, dissatisfied with loss of fervor of churches – especially Methodism
New Denominations:
Salvation Army
Nazarene
Christian & Missionary Alliance
Church of God (Anderson Indiana)

7. As well, many denominations arose in the US over doctrinal or differences in social issues. Two of the key issues were:
Slavery
Modernist/Fundamentalist Controversy (reaction to Biblical Criticism)

8. With the successive waves of immigration to North America, more denominations appeared on the landscape:
Evangelical Free Church (Scandinavian)
North American Baptist (Scandinavian)
Baptist General Conference (1852)
Mennonite General Conference (1860)
Mennonite Brethren (1876)

9. Second Great Awakening among American Methodists (and Canada) – Revivalism & Camp Meetings
Non Methodists – Revivalist Charles Finney & Asa Mahin of Oberlin College – Baptism of the Holy Spirit “cleansed from the desire and inclination to sin”
Presbyterian – William Boardman The Higher Christian Life &evangelistic revivals

10. Quakers – Hannah & Robert Smith - the "secret" of the Christian life—devoting one's life wholly to God and God's simultaneous transformation of one's soul– the Keswick Convention
Keswick-Holiness revival (Britain) – also called “the Higher Life Movement”
Higher life conferences were held at Broadlands and Oxford in 1874 and in Brighton and Keswick in 1875

11. James Caughey – Methodist missionary to Ontario Canada 1840s – 1864
Post Civil War (Holiness Camp Meetings 1867) a renewed emphasis – powerful & influential – people called it Pentecost
1871 – Evangelist Dwight L. Moody “endowment with power”

12. Many new associations – Holiness Organizations of various names
Much of this happened within the Methodist church but many formed Wesleyan societies
The Promise of the Father by Phoebe Palmer published in 1859 in favour of women in ministry – influenced Catherine Booth

13. Overseas missions emerged as a central focus
Already a growing number of Missionary Societies
Main line churches saw no urgent need to preach the gospel in oversees settings
Holiness people saw the mission of the church and the empowering of the Holy Spirit as being one matter

14. Wesleyan Realignment – motion passed at conference in 1894 which passed Rule 301 – discouraging and restricting Holiness preaching and revivals
More than 100,000 left the Methodist church and joined other groups in particular the Church of the Nazarene and the Wesleyan Methodist Church
“come-outer” organizations

15. Baptism of the Holy Spirit was defined as “entire sanctification” – the believer empowered to live a fully consecrated lifestyle (sinless perfecti0n)
Sanctification an instantaneous act accomplished through the exercise of faith
Doctrinally stated as Sanctification as a second work of grace

16. When the Pentecostal outpouring began in Topeka, Kansas and Asusa Street in Los Angeles, many if not most of the Holiness people became a part of the new movement
They carried with them their ideas about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as well as many other ideas about the Christian life
Terms used by Pentecostal groups were once widely used to describe Holiness organizations – Pentecostal, Apostolic
