I have commented elsewhere on the above mentioned contribution, as follows:
As to the recent Asbury phenomena, Acts 5:13 springs to mind (one notices the absence of the fear of God, the soul of genuine piety). The Coming of the Holy Spirit is evidenced in three ways, John 16:8-11. Acts 2 is a fulfilment of all that, with preaching being at the heart of it - as always. Word and Spirit belong together, or else deadness (without the Spirit) or fanaticism (without the Word the Spirit) will eventually take over. One also notes that Christ is no longer central (John 15:26). The most Spirit-filled Christian is also most Christlike! Here every true believer struggles. Discerning readers ought to familiarize themselves with the tests of a true revival by studying the Scriptures more carefully. The church must always be bred and led and fed by the Word of God. J. Edwards is of great help here. I note the gracious tone of these three men who have to teach us a lot.
