THE PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT
 IN PHOENIX

It may be of interest to many readers of The Republican to know more about the two branches of the Pentecostal work in this city, and it may not be known by all that there is a new movement spreading all over the country in Pentecostal cir cles, and we shall endeavOr to show the difference between the old, or, we might say, orthodox, branch and the new.
 The original PentecOstal move ment was started in the west some eight or nine years ago, and differs from the orthodox evangelical churches chiefly in the belief in the fulness of the filling. or baptism of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking with new tongues" as pro- missed by Christ to >"them that be- lieve," Mark 16:17; as on the day of pentecost, Acts 2:4. and after Acts 1O:46. We would that all the broth CTS and sisters in the evangelical churches, etc, would seek by faith the wonderful blessings of this Bible experience, which Jesus expressed as the spirit of truth which will guide you into all truth John 16: Is, also John 14:16, IT, where it is spoken of as the Comforter, even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not" as opposed to the spirit of evil John S:44, or the devil, for "he is a liar and the father of it.'
 Three of the radical differences between the old and new methods are:
 First: The mode of baptism Second: The form of worship. Third: The elements of the com muniOn.
 First: The old custom in regard to baptism has been by immersion in the river, in the name of the Father. the Son and the Holy Ghost" as commanded by Jesus, Mat. 2S:19, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever l have commanded you, and To l am with you always even unto the end of the world"

 Jesus as is stated in Acts, etc, the apostles did which was probably only q form of narration, as scholars state that the name Jesus was not used just as we use it for two hun | dred years after Christ, so it was | impossible that they actually pro- 1 nounced lin the name of Jesus" over the candidate The teachers of the new forms say that they received call the fermented wine that con are being taught in many different places and all go together to form the new system. so it would seem that they have the condition spoken of by Jesus in Mat. 1859, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of mem
 Second: The old pentecostal form of worship has been like that of the Free Methodists and others, that of praying around the altar for the un saved, etc The new form is not to make any invitation to come forward | to the sinners or any others, but everyone is to be saved or receive the blessing in their seats or where they may be, as in the time of the Iapostles the spirit and blessing filled all the place where they were, so the altar was removed, and,
 Third: The fermented wine and lunleavened bread used in the com lmunion, set up. See Daniel 8: 11-14 where it is prophecied in the last Idays that the daily sacrifice" which knight be likened to the daily or nightly sacrifice of praise and lthanksgiving around the altar was
 taken away and "the abominatior lthat maketh desolate" as we nigh Icallt he fermented wine that con- ltains alcohol, set up, Daniel 11:3l land Dan. 12:11. also see Ezekiel 34
 The evangelical unorthodox chur lches and old Pentecostal people have used unfermented wine, or fruit O lthe vine, for communion purpose! lfor some time on the grounds tha it will not cause our weak brothers Ito stumble or offend, for as Pau says, Destroy not thy brother vitf

 whether they be true, Jesus say "I am the way, the truth and tn

 This new movement has beel lstyled because of the requisite o
 baptism in Jesus name to receiv Ithe baptism of the spirit 'ChristiaI
