Satan's Generals: William Joseph Seymour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- William Joseph Seymour was born to freed slaves Simon and Phyllis Seymour in Centerville, Louisiana. In the 1890s, during the height of Dowie’s highly publicized ministry, Seymour traveled north on a journey of spiritual enlightenment through Memphis, St. Louis, and eventually Indianapolis, Indiana. There, he converted from the Roman Catholic Church to the Protestant faith through a Methodist church. Seymour was not fully committed to the Methodists, however, and was soon influenced into the Holiness faith through Daniel S. Warner’s “Evening Light Saints” sect just outside of Indianapolis. The “Evening Light Saints” was a radical Holiness group that focused heavily on the End of Days, basing their theology upon a verse in the book of Zechariah, Chapter 14 verse 7: "at evening time it shall be light." The peculiar sect considered their abstinence from coffee, tobacco, and modern clothing styles to be part of this “evening light.” Declaring that the End of Days was drawing near, they believed that their “light” was shining on those about to suffer the consequences of doomsday. It was in this sect that Seymour was ordained to be a minister.
william-branha...
I have to disagree with you on this, William Joseph Seynour was a good man and not a Satans General. I am an avid followers of your youtube channel and this is one point of disagreement
This video reminds me of Sesame Street: “One of these is not like the others”
It feels like a desperate overreach, without solid logic. Seymour was definitely an outsider to Satans generals. His fruit was literally the OPPOSITE OF THE OTHERS!
Does a Godly man worship alongside occultists and incorporate their practices?😂
As it was in the beginning of the faith, so it is now. In the midst of a move of Go, there will always be counterfeits. William Seymour was the real deal. Parham was the counterfeit. It is how Satan operates. Having a forrm of godliness but denying the powere thereof, from such turn away. Did Seymour's message reault in the inadvertent death of others like Parham? No it did not. Anyway, I always listen to the harshest critics to ascertain if what they are saying has substance. Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. And in this case, it is a 'no'. So thank you for taking the time in critiquing William Seymour - a fellow laborer in the harvest approved by God.
@@1214goonerthey are doing that every day every where yet sincere and hearing good fruit but have to break away and distinguish himself not just start another branch of the same dam thing. So Seymour good no problem but both his root and his branch are bad that has been established so he can be saved but his movement has to be burned so to speak.
Some people are always haters…regardless of William’s inability to convey to others in the educational context, he had the testimony that he pleased GOD 💯🤍🕊️
Seymour was a genuine follower of Christ. Just because we do not agree with someone's theology, doesn’t mean that we should degrade him or them.
I thank God for using William Seymour. Greater move of the Spirit is coming. Soon you will call it Satan's.
Seymour may've been a somewhat ignorant & unlearned man, but he was no fraud. God does truly use the most unlikely of people to carry out his purposes. Given the racism & low regard many had for blacks of the era, I'm hardly surprised by that Colorado woman's negative remarks😮.
This is to assume that the gibberish and kundalini spirit seen today in the same sects is good fruit.
There is more in common with Hindus and pagan worshippers than anything in Scripture.
Is it God’s purpose to worship alongside occultists and incorporate their practices?😂
I know folks with bachelor degrees that are ignorant and unlearned. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts; wisdom is the application of knowledge. So-called Intelligence lies somewhere in between.🥺
I don't agree at all with the title," Satan's Generals. It should be," God's Generals! What in the world! This was a great man!
Satan’s General? Pentecostal gets a bad name from people who preach bad doctrine. Reverence of the Holy Spirit and His Triune importance is far from Satanism. Ignorance is easier than studying the people you disagree with. We are to test our understanding and lean into truth wherever it leads. I personally went from Atheism to agnostic to theist to baptized Pentecostal Christian. How..through prayer and relationship with God. Moreover a formal education in sciences and physics helped me understand space time and dimensional space. Making a space outside 3rd dimensional experience aka the spiritual realm easier to understand. Seymours Revival brought in the Spirit that helped racist, bigoted fools come together in love in Christ in unity. If anything the world needs more of this.
But a false christ and also counterfeit un-Holy Spirit absolutely is. I have firsthand experience believing a delusional lie that Satan was the real Jesus. I have also repented and am now filled with the Holy Spirit through the redemption of Jesus. How do you know you aren't believing a false Jesus and false holy spirit deceiving you? I know the difference because I've believed both, and also have scripture to go to before my own feelings based on my firsthand experience of being deceived. I speak in tongues, I have been through deliverances, I've had several visions, I paint in deep worship and prayer, I have laid hands asking Jesus to heal people and speaking to their bodies, I am definitely not saying God is a liar so please don't respond accusing me of not believing in things I know to be true if that's all you're going to say.
It's just like Satan to try get people not to believe in Jesus powerful works that he has done through many.
They will call evil good and good evil - you have demonstrated well - your eyes our closed -
John 9:41
"Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains."
I am not condemning you, but I remind you of the same verse that I use on myself.
But I plead with you to go to the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer and ask Him to reveal to you the truth of this matter.
A prayer that I pray is:
Psalm 139:23 - 24
"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
when you dont know what to pray your spirit will pray for you with groans that cant be uttered
So why are they uttering them, come on man. Even your defense of this nonsense is equally ridiculous as the very thing you are defending
@@BlantonSF When you speak with tongues your spirit prays . How does Your spirit pray ?

So "the healer" John G Lake" didn't heal Seymour??!!
John G Lake was a complete charlatan, and was arrested for being so.
He also made no secret about being in contact with his DEAD wife.
The people professing Christians eulogise and consider “greats” of the faith just exposes how little they know about them.
Touché
Lake vist the Azusa he said he never see a man that had power oif God on his life
#1 only Jesus heals, not Lake. #2 it is really none of your business why he did not receive his healing, and yet was used in the most powerful outpouring of Gods healing miracle power ever. Paul said in Corinth. He that would be ignorant let him be ignorant still
Paul was a healer and couldn’t heal himself from his own affliction or find anyone else too.
What about the hundreds or thousands of healing from the move of GOD at that chruch???
That happens every day everywhere that people bet these blessings. It happens where people are praying and walking in fellowship with the Father through the blessing of Christ. You could say the movement made people pray and interact with Christ, but the movement focused on the movement and the people the fuel. They should have stayed home and prayed .
I think Seymour was a genuine guy...
He was genuinely wrong 😢
@@ChamomileMineral Did you know him?
@@JayWilliamsTPDid you watch?😂
Maybe but it looks like he was angling for a following from the beginning. That's bad. Very bad. It looks like he kept on that track throughout. Maybe he can be saved but the movement has to be burned.
When the Holy Spirit comes He convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. Sin because they do not believe, righteousness because He goes to the Father and we see Him no more and judgement because the ruler of this world is judged. [Jhn 16:8 NKJV] 8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
[Jhn 14:26 NKJV] 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
The Spirit of God confirms with signs and wonders (healing, deliverance, conviction as examples) when the Word is spoken. If the Word of God is not being read, taught, or spoken, then you must question the spirt.
And to be more exact when the Gospel, or Good News is spoken. People need to know that they need salvation to be able to ask for it.
I hope this doesn't come across as spiritual pride or self-righteousness, but I am so thankful God rescued me out of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement.
Amen! 👍🏼
Amen! I am like you! I was in the WOF movement and was fooled for a season. But like you I am thankful God got me out!!! And I had some family members that it took awhile, but they have now all been delivered as well!!!!
It's not pride to thank God to get you out of heresy. Giving thanks is what we are called to do in the Bible. So don't worry 😉
@@Dilley_G45 Very well said 👍🏼
I suppose you are Reformed now?
Don’t let the title take away from what Phil does brilliantly.
Phil in all of these if you notice never puts bias. Strictly about facts, primary sources of what happened not just hearsay. The title of the vid is only the conclusion HE has delved from all information presented. Put aside bias and ask yourself when you find out the objective facts of who these people were like and why they did what they did.
You do know that this is bs right? Like someone just drawing conclusion from his flesh?
I believe Seymour is a genuine Man of God. Sorry to disagree with you on your opinion of Seymour.
Some people you have no room for other Christian except your denominational doctrine your doctrine is a big barrier for the works of the Holy Spirit do you know how many people received a salvation because of Pentecostal movement when others taking about their denominational doctrine almost one billion people all over the world receive a blessing because of this movement please try to understand the works of God outside your box
Seymour did not walk away from the revival with great money. He did not fake it. His doctrinal stance is laid out in his sermons and lines up with the Word and the writings of Paul concerning being Saved, Sanctified and Holy. He and 7 others fasted without food and water in Asbury’s home for 3 days until the Blessing came down. He believed only in tongues from real languages as 2 who went to his revival were interviewed in 1973 confirming this fact. If you do not believe that Seymour was right despite all proof, then you do not believe that Charles Harrison Mason was right as Bishop Mason got his Blessing with Tongues through Seymour in 1907 while the revival went on. If the revival was a false act of physical movement instead of quickening power, the revival would have died down after a few weeks and no good like healing or international evangelists spreading Holiness. You have to understand that before Parham in 1901 and Roberts in Wales in 1904, being Sanctified was as far as they had gotten and Seymour knew there was deeper. Seymour did not sit with a crate over his head. He fashioned a Podium and they say he was so humble, not thinking himself more important than any other believer, he prayed with his head inside the podium sometimes. Parham did not believe a black man should be head of the church nor should black and white folks hold service together. Where Seymour hoped Parham had deeper to assist in the revival, he did not. Yes, spiritualists and medium came to his revival but Seymour could not refuse them to come. But they could not sit under the Word. The Word is preached under the anointing that will draw or send away. He must have preached against it. If Seymour and his works were wrong concerning the revival, why did William Durham take control and begin preaching a different doctrine contrary to the Word? Why did Parham bother making a new church right down the Street from Azusa? It wasn’t to deliver souls that’s for sure.
Also. Of the revival where doctrine split them, two movements came: the Assemblies of God following what William Durham taught (once saved always saved) and The Church of God in Christ following Bishop Mason who, like Seymour, believed that if you sinned you would lose your salvation. Bishop Mason received from William Seymour and went to work his Gift. Some prophets are called. Some prophets are sent.
@@marklowery8193 There are no prophets today. Biblical canon is closed, no new revelation. Extra-biblical Revelation = how cults begin..cults such as the pentecostalist religion in fact.
@@TripleR-kb6uc truly there is no new thing but that which is already written will come to pass here in our time. yet there is still a prophet in the land. there's always a remnant of the true seed which cults do not have or know of
@@marklowery8193 remnant, in the Bible typically refers to what remains
@@marklowery8193 what remains after a catastrophe that is. What if I told you that the ‘catastrophe’ of today is the denominational religious system? That the majority of ‘christians’ (yes including the pentecostalist religion) really aren’t even biblical Christians, but worshippers of a false idol of your own creation. For example, the religious system celebrates the birth of their ‘jesus’ on Dec. 25. Same day as the pagan Roman sun god, Sol Invictus, and even made Sunday the official day of worship, Sunday = day of the sun god. But the Bible says the brethren gathered together to break bread daily..Acts 2:46. We’re just scratching the surface here, there’s so much more. See, the remnant is much, much, much smaller than adherents of the religious system realize. The vast majority of said remnant also has nothing to do with said religious system.
The critics did not succeed back then and it ain't gunna now.
If charismatics are Satanists, perhaps you should cover Augustine, who in the latter chapters of 'City of God' affirmed spiritual gifts and healings in his day, 200 years after the apostles lived. Spiritual gifts don't make people satanists.
if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13
But earnestly desire and strive for the greater gifts
[if acquiring them is going to be your goal].
And yet I will show you a still more excellent way
[one of the choicest graces and the highest of them all: unselfish love].
1 Corinthians 12 AMP (contemplative)
The only evidence that you have the Spirit of God is your fruit
there is one fruit
this is what the fruit looks like
love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self control
@@1952monkey He commands love and desiring of Spritual Gifts... 1 Cor 12 is completely about spiritual gifts...
Proper understanding of doctrine.
Historic facts not gossip 💯 👍
Good video ! I can't wait to see John and Charles talking deeper about this topic in a podcast 😎
when you speak with tongues you speak to god not to man , no man understands , in the spirit you speak mysteries
So yodisobey God's Word Since when does the Spirit of God contradict Himself?
1 cor 14:27
"If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone MUST interpret"
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are SPIRIT and they are life.
So the churches where people are speaking unknown tongues should disobey the instructions of 1 cor 27 ?
I'd rather obey the word of God than that of the pastor's or church culture.
1 Samuel 15:23
"For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have REJECTED the WORD of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.”
1cor has a very specific context. It was saying not to preach in a non understood language as to not cause confusion in the church. It’s actually extremely clear. You’re gonna bust the gates of hell wide open
Yes, demonic mysteries.
I think this channel was created to shade men of God .
May God have mercy on you
Amazing Research. I hope you will write a book on the early History of Pentecostalism. I promise to buy it
Please, if such a book gets written, include pre-Azusa Pentecostal experiences such as, from 1896 onward, those in North Carolina / Tennessee by the early members of the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) ... there are less questionable and less chaotic modern-day roots to this movement than Azusa.
TBN had written a wonderful book on the history maybe it is still av. I cherish mine
I'd buy it. The history is freaky.
You make valid claims concerning many of the people you mentioned in this series but this one needs more research. The gift of the Holy Ghost seems strange to many and the people that are filled with the Holy Spirit are known for exuberant praise and worship. So what if Seymours crime was ecstatic worship? So what if Seymour did not pontificate in the pulpit like a Jonathan Edwards or Whitefield. Seymour did not do the abominable ,unspeakable things that Dowie and other psychotic people did. You need to consider the historical record before passing judgement.Put yourself in his shoes not 2023. Imagine Parham demanded that you to sit outside a ministry you started because of the color of your skin. Imagine that you were asked to simply step aside and give a ministry to Parham. In this series there is as strong need to compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. Seymour is no where near the deception and influence as Dowie or Lake or the others. I don’t dare mention the name of the one you used because the corruption and subterfuge goes too deep. Seymour was simply passionate and truly believed that his experience was real and from God. I never heard you describe to the viewers how he is one of “Satans Generals” and I hope that viewers do their due diligence because they will find out that Seymour was simply passionate and taught that prayer should have been his focus. You usually are really objective but this video leans more towards subjectivity. I do enjoy learning about Pentecostal History and the life’s and names behind the movement and I appreciate your work..
Always trying to criticize the work of the Holy Ghost. Jesus said that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost results in no forgiveness forever.
Interesting documentary, but I didnt follow why do you categorize Seymour with Satan? I didnt see anything evil about his ministry, unless you assume tongues itself is evil
‘Tongues’ in the Bible = ethnic languages. Not evil at all. But doing jibberish like the pentecostalists do is evil.
😂😂😂. This is a soft channel called “ research” Seymour is a Satan General too 😂😂?
@@TripleR-kb6ucexactly. And Acts is a DESCRIPTIVE book.
Thank you John. Keep up the good work that you are doing for the body of Christ. ❤ 🇦🇺

Who is satanist you or the man whom God use to bring revival all over the world? Whosoever blasphemy Holy Spirit will not be saved. Repent and follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Truly an ignorantly made video as there is so much historical evidences of the happenings at azuza street that. If anyone was to deny Gods works at this church they're sorely misinformed or intentionally lying.
The short documentary didn't show the link between Seymour and the title claim of Satan's Generals. Is this video part 1 of Seymour journey to become Satan's General or is the video title a click-bait?
There is no dirt on Seymour. Seymour was a humble man of God who was used in a remarkable work that shook the world.
While I in NO WAY speak for John or this channel, I am a great admirer of his work! The reference is to a series of books by Roberts Liardon called “God’s Generals”. Volume 1 covers some of the historic leaders of Pentecostalism. Some of these go back to the foundations such as in this case Seymour. Others covered in this volume include Dowie, Lake and others. The volume also covers some who came later such as Wigglesworth, Coe, Branham and again some others. I did not give the complete list.
But as far as I am concerned Liardon’s work is slipshod, sloppy scholarship that is totally dishonest.
The unproven claptrap Liardon details and promotes in this book is in my opinion propaganda not history! This work of so-called history appears to be more concerned with promoting false doctrine rather than any real documentation of history. Those profiled in this book are more like a rogue’s gallery rather than God’s best. “God’s Generals”? Balderdash! I don’t think hardly any of these individuals even enlisted as privates!
And that is why in my opinion John uses the term “Satan’s Generals” because that indeed is what they were a bunch of liars who twisted the word of God and unleashed so much hellish doctrines of demons on the church!
And “Satan’s Generals” is the perfect term! I wish I had thought of it when I did my 1-star review on Amazon. Right on John Collins may God richly bless you as you keep doing God’s work!!!!
I agree the title does not match the video. There is not sufficient evidence presented to show Seymour in the service of Satan.
@@stevenjohnson3883 I am aware of the series of book, God's generals, and it seems that the author was more interested to make it sound more as hagiographies than biographies. But again, this is the problem with most if not all revered figures in religious movement within Christianities, it is not special to pentecostals, Lutherans, Calvinists, etc have the same issue. However, this is beside the point on my comment. There is also a clear total disconnect between the video title and the video content! Hence my question, is part 1 of the video and part 2 is coming with the proof that Seymore was "Satan' general" (not my term)? Or was this video just a click-bait?
@@ericgatera7149I have read up on the life of William J. Seymour and his role in Azusa Street but have never came across anything that eve remotely suggest that he was doctrinally unsafe
You have exposed yourself as an accuser of the brethren. William Seymour was a true man of God. Where is your fear of God? Slander is a grave sin to God.
Very unholy, very unbiblical and very good 😊.
1 corinthians 14:27
"If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret."
When will those who profess Christ to be their Lord&Master start Obeying the Word of God?
This instruction is there for a reason.
Supporters of this chaotic tongues (glossolalia) can you please ask yourself if The Holy Spirit would contradict Himself by instructing order& translation of those speaking in tongues (other languages) in the Bible and then change His mind.?
Is God an author of Chaos to in His people?
The 'tongues' the apostles spoke were known languages from other nations,
God gave this gift to them so that they could testify about Jesus Christ to the Jewish pilgrims who had come to Jerusalem from other nations, these Jewish from diaspora could identify their different national languages spoken by the apostles and understood what they said.
Many were converted.
The gibberish& chaos that people call 'speaking in tongues (glossolalia) sounds like the Hindus kundalini awakenings and also ' Enochian language /Enochian magic, which is occultic.
I practiced 'tongue speaking/ glossolalia under the influence of a pastor.
But then The Word of God showed me my error.. and I repented.. I thank The Lord Jesus Christ so much.
In Acts 1 Jesus last commandment to His disciples was to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Ghost…
Jesus also said, if you love me keep my commandments..
I’m truly remiss you’ve chosen to not obey Jesus.
I had the same experience. I was under a pastor who taught "gibberish" and I started speaking in "gibberish". God got me out of that church and when I repented he showed me it's ALL demonic in nature. Run from the charismatic movement.
@@dustinwetten9632 God is so good!May He help us to continually remember to pray for the deliverance & protection from deception of all our brethren (& those seeking knowledge of Him).
May The Lord Jesus Christ our faithful shepherd, deliver & protect us all from all deception, falsehood & wrong beliefs.
May He help us grow & mature in the knowledge of God our heavenly father and the wonder of His grace, unfathomable mercy& endless love, Amen
❤ excellent research
I don't know what happened to you in the Branham group, but I pray that God brings healing to you so that you will have productive ministry ,rather than just criticizing others.
O ministério dele é muito mais importante .tá salvando nossas vidas do engano deste pseudo profeta .falso e bem falso
@@BernadeteSCosta-id5bfConcordo completamente, 'cê 'ta certo.
These criticisms of Branham and his ministry's poisoned weeds in the NAR, Word of Faith, etc. need to be exposed and uprooted.
I appreciate certain things this channel has done because there are certain aspects within the charismatic movement that are not inline with the scripture. However, this is not entirely the case. There is a lot of scriptural support for the continuation of spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues AND there is good scriptural support in the initial evidence doctrine. If the disciples received the Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John when Jesus “breathed” on them, then why wait in Jerusalem? And why the event in Acts 2? And then we see the event repeated. So there is plenty of basis for Pentecostal theology.
And what I don’t understand is how many baptists (and it’s pretty much baptists and some other reformed groups) will take the scripture so literally! They believe in the scripture so strongly. But when it comes to the book of Acts they completely ignore it.
And we need to be careful, because of these Pentecostals are doing things by the power of God and people are calling that Satanic, couldn’t that be blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? What were the Pharisees saying when Jesus was casting out demons? “By the power of Beelzebub he is casting out demons”. Jesus was very stern with the self righteous religious leaders of his day who would give Satan credit for what God is doing! Let’s not be guilty of the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit! God forbid! It’s an unforgivable sin.
And of all the sins that bothered Jesus the most, it was that one. That’s why it was unforgivable. Thats why is was singled out.
Let’s be careful in what we condemn, because God doesn’t look at it favorably.
Most of the people that call spiritual gifts are Calvinist which is a doctrine of demons so what can be expected? I don’t condemn Calvinist but the doctrine is evil. When someone is so willing to put themselves under another man’s name it proves that they have a different master other than the Lord Jesus Christ.
Though the following scripture is specifically talking about serving God and money I believe it fits the topic.
Matthew 6:24 CSB
[24] "No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Foolish pentecostalism is a doctrine of demons. Read your Bible. You're prideful lust for super powers is well grotesque.
@@yesnomaybeso5755 most people who aren’t Calvinist are Arminians. This belief system was made popular by Jacobus Arminius.
You judge Calvinists for “following a man”, but you are also following the teachings of a man, whether you realize it or not.
@@Titus2BibleStudy everyone is following the teaching of a man.
Please let's Cling to the Word of God.
Be no disciple of a movement or man. Be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. What we don't understand we ask Him, He is the only trustworthy shepherd.
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
The Word of God is Spirit from God. The more the Word of God one feeds on the more Holy spirit they Have. The Holy Spirit cannot teach one, renewing them if they do not have the Word of God.
Read the Word ask The Lord, Jesus to teach you & help you understand.
On the day of harvest it is
not the gifts of the Holy Spirit that will matter but the fruits.
And we cannot bear fruits unless we Abide in Christ which is abiding in the Word of God (Christ Jesus is The Word of God)
Fruits-
( Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control)
John 15:15I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
if an unbeliever comes into church they will say your mad , the unbeliever is the one that doesnt believe in speaking with tongues
The trend that is coming out of the different videos is that the "healers" always troll the other healing sects for converts. They don't try to go and find fresh followers.
While "sheep poaching" is a thing, your observation doesn't apply here. Seymour did not have a faith healing ministry and the only evidence that he was trolling for followers comes from Thelma White, who was an extremely racist Klu Klux Klan supporter and likely suffered from paranoia.
Seymour never claimed to be a healer, for that matter very few in the early Pentecostal movement did. They did teach that JESUS was the Healer, and that healing was offered through His atonement. There was a number of preachers that made ridiculous claims, such as Christians would never die, everything would be healed in this life, and other variations. It is not known that either Parham or Seymour actually went to these extremes. But Seymour was not poaching on the turf of Alma White, instead, he was taking what Parham had taught to them. This was very different to what Parham had failed to accomplish in Zion City.
If u speak against the Holy Ghost it's Blasphemy. And I don't know if u all know this but it's the only unforgivable sin. U cannot. Be forgiven when u ask God. To forgive u. If u speak against the Holy Ghost and yes I study the word of God
You are taking Jesus' words and warning out of context and also accusing the brethren, which is exactly what Satan does. Maybe remove the speck from your own eye first before you decide to sin and serve Satan by doing exactly what the Bible says he does. This video is exposing false teaching and the people behind them because that's what believer's should also do according to scripture.
This man was the asuza st revival. Don't blaspheme
I think Seymour was sincere in seeking truth but was sincerely self deceived and led others with him into a path of further deception...
I go back and forth based on what happened after, but agree that his journey appears to be that of seeking truth. It is unfortunate that he landed at Parham's cult as a major milestone of that journey.
Excellent work!

I don't think you are a true Christian if you are a true bigot.
That's sin to the holy spirit to blasphemy the Holy Spirit works in Christian. If you reject the works of the holy spirit, then you will be cast out to lake of fire. In this world today, or in new earth, and new heaven. Assuza street movement lead by William Seymour is prove God never changes, Jesus never changes, He baptise people with the holy spirit. They were the true Christian, that experience the Holy Spirit, and many churches around the world arise because of that movement.
"You cannot win people by preaching againts their church or pastor...if you get to preaching against churches, you will find the sweet spirit of Christ is lacking and a harsh judging spirit takes place" ~ William J Seymour.
Jesus christ commandment: TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
The Fruits of the Holy Spirit are faith, hope, love, joy, and peace.
The gift of the Holy Spirit are prophecy, speaking in tounges, healing, cast demon out, and lead people to repentance.
There is no such thing as a ‘spirit of judgment’ in the Bible. You rely too much on the teachings of man. The Bible says to reprove the works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). The pentecostalist religion is spiritual darkness, rooted in false manmade interpretation of cherry picked fragments of scripture.
Why couldn’t Seymour heal himself all these while if he possessed the power of God?
HORRIBLE REPORTING! VERY VERY BAD! EMBARRASSING!
John, I was wondering : about speaking in tongues being the "evidence of the Holy Ghost", that idea was born before or after Azusa street revival ?
It originated in the book of Acts, chapter 2. Prior to Azusa St., Parham's students concluded that tongues was the only evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They arrived at this conclusion because in the book of Acts, every time someone was baptized in the Holy Spirit, they began speaking in tongues. Prior to Parham's school, tongues was a rare but known phenomenon. What Parham did was give tongues a particular theological context that made sense in the existing Holiness framework.
@@Rivingtons-go3vg Primary purpose of Holy Spirit is teaching in Wisdom. A heavenly Wisdom that is peaceable and gentle. Jesus specifically warned against testing authenticity by signs and wonders. "Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’" And these were workers of iniquity. Great deception is well underway. All who are looking for an experience will get one. There are many deceiving spirits out there.
@@Rivingtons-go3vg This is demonstrably not true. Have you read the book of Acts? There are only three occasions recorded in Acts where speaking in tongues accompanied the receiving of the Holy Spirit. In fact, these are the only three occasions mentioned in the whole of the NT.
Acts records thousands of people coming to faith in Jesus with zero mention of speaking in tongues.
Nowhere does Scripture teach that speaking in tongues is the only evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit. The NT in fact teaches the opposite: every believer receives the Holy Spirit as a seal and guarantee of their salvation but not all speak in tongues.
And when tongues does occur in the NT they are so the gospel can be preached in someone’s native language, which is what is recorded in Acts 2, not the kind of chaos, disorder and confusion experienced at Azusa. You cannot conflate the events at Azusa Street with what is recorded in Acts 2.
@@MisterN0b0dy You have to understand that the Holiness movement regarded baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate of act of grace from salvation. This is why speaking in tongues as a sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit caught on in the Holiness movement. Parham also believed tongues was for preaching the gospel in foreign languages; however, this is contrary to what Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 14, "anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit." This is the type of tongues that occurred at Azusa St.
@@Rivingtons-go3vg You have to do your homework better regarding Azusa Street, because what you claim simply isn’t true. The manifestations at Azusa Street were characterised by chaos, disorder and confusion; including the manifestation of tongues.
Azusa Street revival was the greatest move of God in the last 100 years and we pray for even greater Azusa in America today where churches are dead and powerless!
Yikes and gross
The one video where he doesn’t prove his case. Just reading off the words of someone’s racist enemies does not a case make.
Interesting conclusion, friend! What, exactly, was the "case" that was being made?
Satans Generals !! Eat your heart out Roberts Liardon !! ...sighs.. its all crumbling.. are any of the revivals bona fide !! Im a charismatic !! 🙂
The Asuza street revival was PROVEN by HISTORY and FACTS to be a GENUINE move of God, hath God not said IN THE LATTER DAYS I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH?
That started at Acts 2 Pentecost. The Azusa street revival is an end time deception.
Thank you!!!!
Very interesting.
Plz add this video to your Playlist: Satan’s Generals.
Makes it easier to find your good info!
There is today people with the holy ghost and speak in tongues its real . Paul said i speak in tongues more then them all in bible days . Father son . And holy ghost . Is alive today.
the tongues Paul spoke was God's word, the language of God, not ba ba boo boo la la la, today's churches are fake gibberish nonsense.
This was somehow bad? Even taking the words of religious racists hypocrites, it was still amazing. Azusa St. wasn't a tidy little religious event and has never been depicted as such. It completely blasted apart the religious stronghold of authoritarian dictators like Dowie, Sandford, Parham, Thompson, Irwin, White and others that had been gripping the holiness movement for a generation. There is now something on the order of 600 million Pentacostal/Charismatic believers today because of Azusa St. It shook the whole world and was glorious.
Nor was Seymour ever interested in building a personal empire. Instead, he encouraged people to return to their home communities and churches and share their testimony. Congregations were converted or, more often, split. Parham eventually wanted to be a Dowie, Seymour wanted to be a pastor.
His greatest failures were locking the door against William Durham and losing control of his mailing list. In the end, he pastured a small church that gradually lost membership until it closed after the death of his wife, who pastured the congregation after the death of William Seymour.
@@jayt9608 As I understand it, the mailing list was stolen, it wasn't really his fault. I have read accounts of Seymour letting people just say anything they wanted, even people who came to criticize and object to the revival. Was the issue with Durham his view on sanctification? I don't agree but I can understand why Seymour wouldn't be comfortable with it.
In the last days many will fall away from the faith. The many are the Pentecostal movement who teaches another gospel that Paul speaks of in Galatians
A gospel based on works signs and wonders. Jesus called those seeking signs and wonders as a wicked generation.

I do not have access to my library so I do not recall the name of the lady who packed the list in her luggage when she moved to Washington, but that is true. His secretary took it, used it for a time, but never had his circulation. She also called her work Apostolic Faith. Last I heard her group still exists but only has a few churches with a few hundred in membership. No one living, to my knowledge, has any information as to what led to the falling out, but fall out they did.
Yes. Durham preached the "Finished Work of Calvary" in Seymour's church. This essentially removed Pentecostalism from its Weslyan-Holiness roots, and aligned it closer to a Baptist/Keswick understanding. This was an anathema to those who taught three works of Grace, salvation/sanctification/Holy Ghost infilling. Technically he reduced everything to two works of Grace.
His teachings became the fundamental understanding of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, the Assemblies of God, and the United Pentecostal Church International. Two of these three are Oneness organizations, though there are others.
Baptism in Jesus' Name was the "new issue" as opposed to the "old issue", the Finished Work doctrine. This was primarily a split in the supporters of Durham's view. Additionally the Oneness position was divided by those who believed in salvation at repentance with a later reception of the Holy Ghost, represented by Howard Goss and the Pentecostal Church, Incorporated, and those who believed that repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost were the complete experience of salvation. This was represented by Witherspoon and A.D. Urshan and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ. Eventually, the position of the PAJC became the position of most Oneness Pentecostals as most of the others reverted to Trinitarian Charismaticism or denominationalism. Some just went Charismatic, and without research you would not k ow they were supposed to be Oneness, such as T.D. Jakes.
@@jayt9608 I agree with PAJC. My opinion is that the "second act of grace" was just Wesley speculating. He never claimed to have it. When the Holiness movement tried to make it a normative occurrence, it just didn't work. The Keswick view made the second act of grace a theoretical construct with almost no distinction from the finished work, so we might as well set aside the second act of grace.
*91* Now, the Pentecostals. That brother, one…I believe his…one of his eyes was out, a colored brother *who really started the Pentecostal message* in California, the old Azusa Street. He was laughed at, because he was a negro. He was made fun of, but *he brought a message for that age* . Just a little body, a fellow could hardly sign his own name, but the Lord had revealed to him that this was the age for the restoration of those gifts, and they come.

Wow! This is really interesting. I didn't know that occultic practices were going on at Azusa Street! I'm surprised Seymour was able to get anywhere with the rampant racism. They way Seymour's preaching is described, it reminds me of WMB and a lot of message churches. Did anyone notice that at 4:44the newspaper had in big red letters the words. The Park. And KKK, by spelling convincing. Convicting, and converting with Ks. I'm not saying it means anything, but it was pretty surprising to see some of the worst things about the message al, tnose years before in big red letters.
Glossolalia what these people claim to be the 'speaking in tongues' sounds similar to 'Enochian language' which is occultic
Google 'Enochian magic' then check out ' Enochian language'
This is why The Word of God tells us there should always be an interpreter when people spoke in other languages. And not more than 2 or 3 at a time.
@@rK-em4yy Thanks, I will have to check that out!!
@@lesliewells-ig5dl Also the kundalini awakening by Hindus.. They practice glossolalia, tranches..
Plus why don't we ask ourselves why God would author Chaos for His children.
People forget that the tongues the disciples spoke in acts 2 were languages from other countries.Jewish pilgrims had come to Jerusalem from these countries, and the disciples filled with the spirit, manifested this gift by testifying about Jesus Christ to these jews from other nations in their various languages. Thus converting them so that when they returned to their nations they were able to further testify about their experience & Christ Jesus.
We should always remember
that it the fruits of the Spirit that will be harvested, not the gifts.
Evidence of one being spirit filled is not gifts but fruits. It is fruits that are harvested.
Fruits - Gal 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, and self-control.)
And we can only bear fruits if we remain in Him. We abide in Him by abiding in His Word. Asking Him for more understanding as we study it.
(John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The WORDS I have spoken to you are SPIRIT and they are LIFE.)
I pray we never forget Jesus said many will be deceived by signs&miracles from false prophets, the only way to discern truth from error is by clinging to the Word and trusting only Jesus, depending on Him for everything esp. In teaching us the knowledge of God& in helping us understand and obey God's Word.

Pentecostalism seems to have a history of racism, mysticism, skepticism, I guess all the ism’s 😂😂
Bro I’m done with these Penterascals in the name of White Jesus.
Just as all denominations
Good History
Are you a cessationist?
The Vernal Equinox of 2030, marks the beginning of the 3rd, 1000-year Days of Heaven since Jesus taught us, All men are brothers, love one another, and be perfect -- and was then crucified in 30 AD. 2 Peter 3: 8 Matthew 5: 44-48. It brings the fulfilment of the resurrection, as Jesus, Himself explains -- John 16: 7-15 -- when the Spirit of Truth -- not Jesus in the flesh -- comes to all who will receive him . . . and final judgement for the devil and dragon. Daniel 7: 9-14 Revelation 12: 12-13.
We have been told SOONER. 09/23/26 is exactly 3.5 years sooner. It's the autumn equinox of the US' and the illuminati's 250th year (1776-2026). 10/12/26 is 42 new moons sooner. There will be an Epochal Eclipse April 8, 2024, when more shall be revealed to those with eyes and ears. The rest will see only an eclipse. Matthew 16: 4 Jonah 3: 5-8, Jonah 4: 11.
What is this? Are you projecting Christ's return based on some calendar math?
@@Rivingtons-go3vg The Urantia Book dates Jesus' resurrection -- the morning the stone was found already rolled away -- as April 9th 30 AD. So, I use that year. It's not proof -- I know. His birth is dated as August 21st, 7 BC.
There will be an Epochal eclipse April 8th 2024, when more shall be revealed to those with eyes and ears. The rest will see only an eclipse. By the way, it is the 2nd of the great American eclipses. The first was August 21st, 2017.
Matthew 16: 4 Jonah 3: 5, 8 Jonah 4: 11
Jesus said, "if you kill me, I will rebuild THIS Temple in 3 Days."
Verily, The Rapture is a Hoax. Pentecostalism is a Bad Tree of Christianity, with roots in the KKK. All their Prophets are false. All their faith-healers are frauds.
