Abstract
"In June, 1995, a remarkable outpouring of the Holy Spirit began at the Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, Florida. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have visited Pensacola. Many have come away with a renewed spiritual experience and a revitalized ministry. What is happening in Pensacola is evidently happening in many other localities as well. Some of the local outpourings are a direct result of contact with Pensacola; some are not. Significantly, a common thread in the testimonies of those impacted by the current flow of revival is that it is essentially a renewal of holiness, of concern for the sanctified life. Some would see in the Pensacola revival a call to Pentecostals to recover their holiness roots. Evidently, somewhere along the way, the Pentecostal movement (or at least part of it), generally pictured as a direct outgrowth of the nineteenth-century Holiness Movement, drifted away from the emphasis on sanctification. With this new focus of attention on personal holiness, it is timely that we attempt to reconstruct the story of the roots of the modern Pentecostal movement, giving particular attention to the streams of influence regarding the doctrine of sanctification. The practical implications of this for today’s Pentecostals may be significant."
