The Life of Charles G. Finney

Mr. Finney tells what he preached: "I insisted upon the voluntary total moral depravity of the unregenerate and the unalterable necessity of a radical change of heart by the Holy Ghost, and by means of the truth. I laid great stress upon prayer as an indispensable condition of promoting the revival. The atonement of Jesus Christ, His Divinity, His Divine mission, His perfect life, His vicarious death, His resurrection, repentance, faith; justification by faith, and all kindred doctrines, were pressed home, and were manifestly made efficacious by the power of the Holy Ghost.." The means used were simply preaching, prayer, and Conference meetings, much private prayer, much personal conversation, and meetings for the instruction of earnest inquirers. No other means were used. There was no appearance of fanaticism, no bad spirit, no divisions, no heresies, no schisms. GET MORE BOOKS AT REVIVALPRESS.NET
