ellauri092.html on line 263: In 1859 William Boardman published his book, The Higher Christian Life. The book ultimately birthed the Keswick Movement, so named because the first meeting was held in a church in Keswick, England. The Keswick Movement was filled with doctrinal error from the start and like nearly all errors that infiltrated Christendom over the centuries, they remain to this day. This shouldn’t surprise us because Satan has always twisted God’s Word to his own ends.
ellauri092.html on line 265: William Boardman worked closely with Robert Pearsall Smith, whose wife Hannah Whitall Smith, a Quaker, became well known in the movement for her belief in “quietism”. Quietism teaches that “sinless perfection” is attainable in this life and comes from inner quietness or meditative contemplation that is believed to allow God to work as all human effort ceases. Remind you of something today?
ellauri092.html on line 269: Though Boardman was a Presbyterian and strongly influenced by the numerous heresies of Charles Finney and others, he was not a trained theologian. In fact, it is tragic that many errors that crept into the church were introduced by people who had little to no training in rightly dividing the Word. This is not to say that a person with little to no formal training cannot be used by God or that he is exempt from learning the truth of Scripture (Harry Ironsides is a good example). However, there is a proper hermeneutic to be used in studying Scripture and if not applied, many errors can result.
xxx/ellauri307.html on line 475: Vuonna 1878 Orisbergin kartanon isäntä Edvard Björkenheim liittyi raittiusseuraan ja hänen pitämänsä raittiuspuheet Vaasassa ja Orismalassa keräsivät runsaasti yleisöä. Björkenheimistä tuli Vapaan Lähetyksen yksi merkittävimmistä työntekijöistä toiminnan alkuvaiheessa. Syksyllä 1883 Wilhon syntymävuonna Björkenheimilla oli mahdollisuus kuunnella puolen vuoden ajan Boardmania, Moodya ja Sankeyta sekä anglo-amerikkalaisen pyhityksen johtajia kuten Hudson Tayloria, Grattan Guinesia ja Reginald Radcliffea.
