Latter Rain (1880s Movement)
The Latter Rain Movement was a late nineteenth-century radical Holiness theology and Revivalist phenomenon which began in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Elements of the movement gave rise to and merged with what would become incipient modern Pentecostalism. History The Latter Rain Movement began in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee among groups of disaffected Baptists and Methodists. The movement was spread throughout the area by Baptist preacher Richard G. Spurling, Sr., and the use of "Latter Rain" to describe the movement originated at this time. Mayer (1961), p. 308. Considerable opposition from other Baptists arose, and a distinctive identity emerged. At a Holiness revival meeting in Monroe County, Tennessee, during 1886 the movement coalesced with the formation of the Christian Union. Clark (1949), pp. 100–101. Spurling, Sr., was joined by his son Richard G. Spurling, Jr., and by Methodist preacher W. F. Bryant. Shulman (1981), pp. 273–274. ...

History Origins (1886–1902) R. G. Spurling (1857–1935), a Missionary Baptist minister, and his father Richard Spurling (1810–91), an ordained elder, rejected some of the views of the Baptists in his area as not being in accord with New Testament Christianity. R. G. Spurling disagreed with Landmarkism, an ecclesiology which held that only churches descending from churches with Baptist doctrine were part of the true Church, and that they should not associate with Christians of other traditions. Spurling felt that there needed to be another reformation of the Church that went beyond the Protestant Reformation so that Christians would be united together by love and not by creeds, which he believed were divisive. As long as something was not contrary to the New Testament, believers should be ab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
